Only if the samba configure time and effort is cheaper than a tape
drive for the Linux system.

Going to be kind of hard to restore to a read-only share, no?
Also, does Samba support 8bit character sets? \s in file names?
There are various things that are legal under Unix-style file
systems that won't work under NT. Are you using any kind of ACL
system? How about the user maps, do you want stuff to come back with
the same ownership and permissions? Getting that to work across
Samba is hard enough without throwing a Windows backup solution into
the mix...
