You can also use Samba to backup a Windows share.  What I do on my
Windows boxes is create a read-only drive share that is accessible to a
single userid which is only used by BackupPC.  BackupPC can then back up
the drive from that share.  In order to do a restore, you have to
manually set the share to be writable before requesting the restore.
