Greetings,

I am about to attempt to archive my Win32 hosts with amanda. I was
wondering what the list users experience has been with samba and/or the
Win32 amanda client.

Thank you,

I've had great luck with Samba. I have avoided the win32 client mainly
because it doesn't appear to be under development any longer. Others
have reported success with cygwin and compiling amanda on each win client.

In reading the list archives I found a message that stated that due the
the fact that the ctime is not perserved it causes amanda to run a full
backup every run. Is this still the case?

Andrew

If it does then it claims otherwise in the backups. I've gotten up to a level 2 on some of my smbclient based backups.
