I have always had problems backing up windows shares with amanda, so I just continued to use Veritas for them, until I found an easy way to do it. If you mount the windows share into the Unix file system, it seems to be far more reliable, as well as faster and easier to do:
# mount -t smbfs //winserver/share /mnt/mntpoint then add an entry for the mntpoint in amanda's disklist entry. Hope this makes someones life easier! Steve Bertrand
