Confusing, eh?  I'll try to clarify:

To set up a client, just copy the c:\backuppc directory.  Aside from
vshadow, nothing's specific to a Windows version or bit width.  Depending
on your situation (multiple drives?) you may need to make some alterations
to the scripts.

On the server, you'll need the pre and post commands, and a copy of
winexe, which turns on and off VSS, plus whatever you'd usually do to set
up a client.  This can be automated, but naturally it depends how
homogenous your clients are.
