[Samba] Question on using smbmount

[Jason Williams]

After thinking about this, is this even a viable option? I mean mounting 
a share on one linux server (running samba) to another linux server also 
running samba? The whole idea was so I could run a backup of the data on 
a tapedrive.
Am I looking at this completely wrong?
