Advantage of Amanda, if I understand well, is that you don't need to
install anything on your Windows machines.

I have been using Amanda to backup various Unixes and Windows for
years now and it is very satisfactory.

I even wrote some web interface so that Windows user could add some
shares to back-up, without any sys admin help. OK that bit has not
been tested with XP...
