You might have better luck on the BackupPC mailing list:

I have Debian GNU/Linux machine and use Samba to share folders that are
used by Windows clients on my small home LAN.  I create back up and
archive images on the GNU/Linux machine from the shared disk to an
external disk using rsync and tar/gzip, respectively.  Samba has nothing
to do with these activities (the Windows clients are logged off when the
back up and archive images are created).


HTH,
