I prefere #3
All my important win boxes (actually only Win2K) do a standard M$ backup on
a samba share, which is backed up by amanda.
Advantages: immediate recovery possible
Disadv.: disk space

You have 3 ways to backup Windows by Amanda:
1. Win32 client: good luck, since its development has been stopped 2 years ago
2. Windows shares and Samba client on your Amanda box: not so good because
of the rights of the files that are bot backed up
3. Amanda standard client installed under Cygwin on your Windows box: OK,
but you have to install Cygwin first; and I'm not sure I like this
solution, just because I have to install a "Linux emulator" on a Windows
box (can you imagine yourself installing a Wine on your Linux just to make
some administrative operations? I don't).
In my case, I have adopted 3 different solutions, depending on the boxes I
back up:
1. Samba
2. Cygwin
3. backup Windows computers with official Windows backup solutions
