The guide says "one Samba DC has to be defined as source", but reading it
again, I suppose that is because the guide is specifically about
Samba-to-Win. I don't see why robocopy wouldn't work Win-to-Samba, with
never editing  GPOs using the Samba DC. Everything seems fine to me in my
testing, but before I implement in production, I was wondering is there a
reason why I shouldn't be doing Win-to-Samba using robocopy?
