And yet another thing to note here is that Cygwin has (recently?)
gained a program named cygrunsrv, that could be used to start a
Cygwin-built [x]inetd, that could then fire amandad natively on
Windows. I haven't got to the trouble of going down this path, but it
seems like someone with a lot of Windows machine to back up could
observe a significant speed up avoiding all of the SMB overhead,
gaining more levels of incremental backups meanwhile.
