Hi! Maybe not... Windows has a tricky perception of locked files when opened, so could I recommend you to create a Windows account (maybe "amanda" ;) ) but member of the "backup operators" group instead of "administrators" one? And of course make Amanda log into Windows as this account... In some cases this would help...
