Windows 7 Pro backup is ok, but it does break easily and doesn't tell you
that its stopped working...

How are you running the Windows backup? As a scheduled task on Windows? Here, I have bacula fire off a batch file on the windows host as a ClientRunBeforeJob. That batch script triggers wbadmin to do a backup out to a Samba share, and when it finishes, bacula grabs the resulting Windows image from the samba server. If the Windows backup encounters a problem, the batch exits with an error and I get a nice "backup failed" email from bacula. It works well for us, though it's only a handful of Windows hosts... I don't think it'd scale well to be doing full Windows backups nightly to a Samba share from dozens and dozens of hosts.
