>1) No decent way to do incrementals
Since you'll be doing by hand what Amanda does automatically, you can do
incrementals just as well as it can (which isn't all that well with PC's,
but that's a separate issue :-).
Just beef up the script the user runs so it does a full on some schedule
("it's Friday so I'll do a full", or "it's been a week since the last
full so I'll do another", etc) and on the other runs it uses the 'g'
smbclient/smbtar flag, just like Amanda. Use the 'a' flag in either case.
>2) Two-stage recovery
Yup. Life with PC's is not pleasant :-).
The idea from James Sharp about just putting it in the disklist, as you
pointed out, only works if it's connected at the right time. There are
some ideas floating around about how to better deal with this, but they
aren't ready yet unless you want to help implement them.
