I'd much rather use NFS than SMB. It's generally far more efficient.
However, God only knows how much crap an NFS server running on
MS-Windows would have to work against, so it might be that it actually
takes longer to run.
I'd probably do some testing with both tar over NFS and smbtar before
making a decision, then post the results here for the benefit of
others in the same situation (hint, hint :-)
