Backing up Win32 Clients over a network

[Chuck Siu]

I am trying to create a network wide backup scheme using Samba for a 
network of about 60 Win32 clients in our LAN.  I was wondering if it is 
possible to use smbclient to automatically search the entire network for 
shares with a common prefix naming convention and using a wildcard such as 
backup_*, automatically mount the shares, and use smbtar for backup 
purposes?  Has anyone done this before?  .
