It wouldn't be the first time M$ change this one. If I remember correctly you 
couldn't restore
backup done with one version by another version.
Good luck to have it setup perharps a mail to Kern ( kern at sibbald.com ) to 
ask him how he manage the windows build process
could help you a bit.

Not so hard to understand that we try to evit win2k8 :-)

On budget crisis, I've recommanded a ldap/samba/postfix/imap/davical linux 
solutions :-)
Which can of course could be easily backup by Bacula even on 64bits systems.
But I could easily imaging that the decision is not only yours. ...

One thing I've learned using bacula. It rocks to nice, so there's no reason not 
using it.
The only other way you could backup your system waiting a full native support is
to Snapshot the system with microsoft tools and get the snaps take by bacula on 
a share.
No nice solution, just a working one if you get some place to stock the temp 
snaps.
