Has anyone got "amrecover" for a file backed up via the win32 client to
actually work?

If so, how?

If not, it is possible that my employer would be willing to pay someone
to bring it sufficiently up-to-date that it actually works.  (Since the
backup image is created OK, we are expecting that this ought not be a
huge amount of work for someone with a reasonable ability & willingness
to develop in/for the win32 environment.)  It would be Nice(tm) if, aas
an additional result, it would be possible to do an amrecover from the
UNIX side against a backup created in the win32 side and have a
reasonable expectation that some arbitrary set of the files could be
restored.

[I note that I was given a pointer to "star", which may well help with
the latter task, but does nothing, as far as I know, for restoring files
in the win32 environment.]

Thanks,
david
