mounting windows clients

[Greg Conway]

> Hi all,
> 
> Quick question...
> 
> I have Samba set up and running quite happily, and providing 
> netbios shares to our network.
> 
> Using Samba, can I connect to shares on other Windows machines 
> and mount them under linux so they are available to traverse via linux?
> 
> I ask, as I backup the machine by tar'ing up groups of files and 
> writing them to a tape drive daily, using a simple script I knocked up.
> 
> I want to be able to back up drives across the network by the 
> same system, so I thought if I could simply mount these drives 
> somehow I could include the mountpoints in my tar routine.
> 
> Anybody got any advice / info / comments on what I'm trying to 
> achieve here?
> 
> Many thanks for any help received.

> Regards,
