Dug into into the code and figured it out.
1) I was correct in thinking Windows backups
include the extended attribute "streams" as
Microsoft calls them.
2) Looks like the restore code detects when
the backup is a multi-stream Windows backup
and when the Windows API is not present,
and at that po
Why not just write a shell script to copy
the archive volumes and either run it as a
type=Admin job or from cron? That's
what I do. Have it set up so each
client has it's own pool of "use-once"
volumes with the date-time in the name.
Simple 'touch' and 'find -newer' commands

A recent experiment produced an outcome
that seems at odds with the documentation
on the "portable" keyword as described at

The documentation states that the default

Try looking at the archive with 'bls' if
possible. Gives a precise picture of what
files were backed up along with exact size
and timestamp information.

Dug into this a bit. Most of the files
appear in the C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution
tree. Apparently this subtree can be entirely
deleted after stopping the 'wuauserv' service.
When 'wuauserv' is restarted the tree is rebuilt
from scratch and the next time Windows Update
is run the subtree fills
