This question really doesn't have much to do with samba, you may want to
post to a more Mandrake-centric list (assuming LM9 means Linux-Mandrake
9.0 ...) such as the expert list. You can subscribe to these lists from
the Mandrake web sites.

Assuming your accounts are identical on both machines, you could NFS
mount the machine you want to restore on. However, you will have to
create the NFS share without root-squashing, see 'man exports'.

You may also be able to have success with rmt, but probably only using
dump/restore.

Amanda may be a better backup system to use, as it is network capable
and pretty efficient. All of these packages are in Mandrake 9.0 or the
contribs.

smbmount will not really work too well, as it only connects as a single
user, and mappings of permissions aren't that great, but if you connect
as root or an admin user, you may have success.

I would probably go with NFS at the moment, and in future plan to use
amanda.
