Which is the correct way to backup windows servers using amanda? Is
there one?
Windows backup is indeed not handled first class, as you noted.
Nor it is tested/used extensively either.
I did use the smbclient way with Amanda for some time on some
servers (and even was able to restore files too), but my main method
of handling it is moving the data to a linux server instead.
That works pretty good in our case. Many of my users aren't even
aware that the fileserver is actually Linux and not some MS Windows
version. YMMV...
