I'm not using amanda to back up any Windows boxes, but on some of our Windows boxes that do need backed up, using NovaNet Web Backup which does not support backing up the Sytem State like Backup Exec does, I just use the built in Backup tool to do this. Start / Programs / Accessories / System Tools / Backup, tell it to back up the System State only to a file like d:\systemstate\backup.btk, then schedule it to do this once a day well in advance of when the backup job runs. Then the backup client backs up that flat file just fine which Windows could use to restore the registry etc if necessary.
