I also looked at the project on sourceforge for the Win32 client. The task that I found too daunting to contemplate when I tried this was interfacing to the Win32 file system. The win32 client project included a TAR that they claimed worked on NT and picked up ACLs. So really the remaining task is a TCP/IP daemon that can accept and execute commands from the AMANDA server. Maybe I'll dig up some of my old Perl scripts...
