[Samba] backup from other machine using mount-t smbfs
That should be possible, but you should investigate smbtar (a wrapper around smbclient) or smbclient's tar option, which I believe will give more accurate permissions, other than that, to retain the unix permissions as well, you would need to use tar and netcat or tar and nfs. I have done quite a bit of work with netcat so if you want to email me privately I should be able to help you set it up.
