I don't suppose amanda has [duck and run!] MS Windoze clients, does
it?  At the moment I'm trying to think of a reasonable way to get all
my systems backed up...the best I can think of is to install Samba and
a staging area disk on my FreeBSD box - then run some disk-to-disk
backup software on the Windoze boxes to copy files to the staging
area.  Then back up with dump/tar/amanda/whatever from there.  This is
a home network with (at the moment) 1 BSD box and 2 Windoze boxes.

Any other suggestions?

Thanx,
