Yes, unfortunately you have to choose between being able to keep much more history online with no need to install a client agent and being able to save windows metadata. Bacula also has better integration for tape archiving. Backuppc can write to tapes but it is sort of an afterthought.
Yes, I'm looking at having to use Bacula for my Windows servers for their metadata but I'd sure like to have BackupPC's ability to store single copies of common files from multiple clients.
Some people on the backuppc mail list have mentioned using ntbackup to dump system state and some critical files to a local disk file that is picked up by the backuppc run and living with the client's-eye view of the rest.
