 +A word of caution. My Windows client normally runs F-Secure antivirus. With its realtime scanner active, my backups were crazy slow (<600kbit/sec) making my backups take forever. Disabling the scanner boosted the speed up to normal speeds. I am investigating ways to either "white-list" the bacula-fd process from the scanner, or temporarily disabling it during backups.
