Help on syncing a windows server

Hello,

At my work we have multiple freebsd machines running samba.  Love it, things 
are working great.  We have several windows 2000 servers that our engineers 
store their working drawings on.  I need to create a mirror of this 
engineering windows 2000 machine to a freebsd machine running samba.  The 
purpose of this is so that regular employees, welders whatever can just read 
the drawings on the mirrored (freebsd) machine and not touch the windows 2000 
server that the engineers work on.  Right now I am using Robocopy and I was 
hoping I could do this with rsync instead.  

Here is what the freebsd tester box looks like.  You can notice the two smbfs 
mounts.  These are some of the engineering windows 2000 machines that I would 
like to mirror to this freebsd box.  

/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, NFS exported, local)
/dev/ad0s1f on /tmp (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1g on /usr (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1e on /var (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad1s1e on /depot (ufs, NFS exported, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad2s1e on /general (ufs, NFS exported, local, noatime, soft-updates)
/dev/ad3s1e on /Drawings (ufs, local, soft-updates)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
201.201.2.24:/share1/flexbackup on /flexbackup (nfs)
//ADMINO5 at EMSCOR_ENG_NT/DWG on /ech_nt (smbfs)
//ADMINISTRATOR at SOLID-EDGE/DWG on /solid_edge (smbfs)

So in a nutshell I need to know if rsync can mirror the /solid-edge mount and 
/ech_nt mount  to /drawings.

Thank you for any insight.
