One of the things I like about Tarsnap compared to other off-site backup services is that it's nicely scriptable so I can manage what gets backed up and when from one central server just like BackupPC itself. By the same token, though, Tarsnap is not very convenient to run from the individual PCs because some of them are Windows and I'd need to deploy scripts to run it periodically through Cygwin.

Can you cifs-mount them into the server handling the backups to get semi-direct access?
