Plan 9's aquarela(8), see the example for reading the dump. Cifs
clients can write to the intervening venti-backed Plan 9 filesystem,
but there is nothing (that I know of) like p9p's vbackup(8) for
dealing directly with venti.

There are potential ways to have 9P on windows I suppose via some of
the 9Ps for interpreted languages. But venti talks venti, not 9P.

There is an inferno venti of some level of completion. Last I
checked, the clients, but not the server, are in http://
code.google.com/p/inferno-os/.
