Rsync to a Remote NAS

[BillDorrian at pgatourhq.com]

That's how I do it too - from a linux box:

# mount -t cifs -o username=tylerdurden //cifsbox/share /linuxmountpoint

(Then you are prompted for tylerdurden's Windows/CIFS password)

After that:
# rsync (your options here) /<sourcedir> /linuxmountpoint

You mean mount -t cifs ;)

This is a good plan B if the remote system can't support rsyncd or
rsync over ssh.  But unfortunately it would mean running with --whole-file
