Oh, forgot to mention, that without this mount option,  backup,
access to file fails.

# ls -l /mnt/smb_b/testfile2
ls: cannot access /mnt/smb_b/testfile2: Permission denied


So this mount option backup, alongwith cifsacl mount option, now enables a
program/tool like robocopy to function as it should.
If and how a user is shut out from any of such accesses is upto the
cifs/smb server.
