You supposedly could run A/ZManda-Windows-Client on a Windows client (one that remotely mounts the NTFS share). It will have a cost because the files are traveling the network twice (from NTFS server to Windows client and from Windows client to Amanda server). Your Windows client could be some virtual machine that is started only for back-up purposes (a virtualbox running from Amanda server, so you "cut off" one network transfer). That is ugly. It depends what is the NAS/storage amde of. Best regards, Olivier --
