Has there been any discussion or development on an Amanda client that can run on a Windows box? I have never looked at the source for Amanda nor the windows backup API, so this might be a stupid question. I just thought asking would be a good starting point.
The Amanda/samba solution does not work well for my Exchange Server. It also has limited ability to filter out files that I do not want backed up. It is very limiting to have to explicitly exclude files or directories when doing a samba backup. I have quite a few NT servers that I would love to backup with Amanda and ax the crappy Backup Exec program we are using. But with functionality being where it is currently in Amanda, I am afraid I have no choice. Thanks for your answers. Michael
