You have 3 ways to backup Windows by Amanda:
1. Win32 client: good luck, since its development has been stopped 2 years ago
2. Windows shares and Samba client on your Amanda box: not so good because of the 
rights of the files that are bot backed up
3. Amanda standard client installed under Cygwin on your Windows box: OK, but you have 
to install Cygwin first; and I'm not sure I like this solution, just because I have to 
install a "Linux emulator" on a Windows box (can you imagine yourself installing a 
Wine on your Linux just to make some administrative operations? I don't).

In my case, I have adopted 3 different solutions, depending on the boxes I back up:
1. Samba
2. Cygwin
3. backup Windows computers with official Windows backup solutions
