I tried this, but was unable to get it to start a service, using the 
SINGLEPROCESS thingy.

Has anyone been successful in getting bbackupd to run at boot time, as a 
service, or otherwise. Or even at login time. I tried adding it to the 
'Run' part of the Windows registry as Ben suggested, but I couldn't get 
that to work either.

I would be willing to donate some money to help get a production (or at 
least Beta) grade bbackupd running on win32. Anyone else in the same 
boat? My user base is largely on Windows machines.

Thanks,
Per
