SAMBA may not be the nicest way to backup Windoze Being a user of amanda and at a large installation with many different archs running the 'dump' method of amanda... I think the dump method *is* the way to go. All you gotta do to restore from tape then is to pipe the filesystem off the tape from amrestore to restore and then 'add' and 'extract' the files in the blinky interactive shell. With the tar method you either need to make two passes, or know the filename first.
