ssh

[kitepilot at kitepilot.com]

In order to ssh into a windoze box as user at host, you'll need to set up a SSH 
server in the windoze box and establish a shell to login into which will 
honor your commands (which all I have done in the past).
Have you considered alcoholism?
You may have a better shot...   :) 

As a rule of thumb, you initiate the backup of a windoze box FROM the box 
itself.
Unless you enjoy self-inflicted pain...
