Brian,

Tried that,  but there is alot of UNIXism in amanda.  I did go the cygwin route 
a couple of years ago.  It kind of
worked.  I am currently rewriting the whole client side in perl.  To get it to 
work you just have to download
ActiveState perl and my script, that's it.  I am also looking at using this 
perl code to backup UNIX/Linux plus any
other type of systems (ie. OSX) that supports perl.   

Should have some code for people to look at early next week.

Jim
