OK, so, say I were to mount an SMB share using cifs, and have BackupPC go 
there? Would that work? Or does it need hardlinks in the actual archive store?

If I cannot use a Windows computer, can I store it somewhere else on my 
computer then, and have the Windows computer access it? Or is that going to hit 
the same problem? Essentially, the Windows computer creates redundant backups 
of what BackupPC makes using Windows-only *sniff* software.
