It's a bit unusual what you describe.
First question :
When you say "backing up windows shares" what do you mean.
Did you use a bacula-fd on the windows system and save a filesystem directory 
which is shared, or
did you mount the windows share somewhere, an backup this mount ?

In my experience, if windows was unable to find a directory which is normaly 
share at boot it wouldn't be able to restart the
share. And offently keep the records in registry.

So after a restore of such a directory you have to issue a new command net 
share add ... (could be a post job)
or manually find the share in the registry, delete it and recreate it, and 
restart the "computer share and browser services ..."

It would be usefull to keep a dump of the registry as "clear" text with a 
regedit -e dump somewhere you backup the file.
This could help you to retrieve shared named and rights. a bit of copy&paste 
and you could import the keys/value inside registry.

Hope this help you a bit.
