well, smb is actually just like cifs, in fact cifs is based heavily on smb and you could say that cifs is a newer version of smb and be pretty close to right. really, the problem here is the filesystem on the disk, you need a filesystem that supports hard links. no windows filesystem does(fat,fat32,ntfs), you need one of the *nix filesystems such as ext2/3,ufs,reiserfs,xfs,zfs and you need to be able to mount it by nfs at the very least and that is not ideal.. really, for network storage, you need something like iscsi or ata over ethernet. im sorry to say it, but i dont think you are going to get that working with backuppc short of putting an image file on it and mounting that image by loopback. i can help you with that if you like.
