Yes there were some changes to smbclient which caused failures with backuppc. There are patches for most distros now but it has never worked reliably for me since samba was changed and so I started using rsync on windows. Whilst it is annoying having to install an rsync separately and open another port, I have just found rsync more efficient in some respects.
Rsync on windows should also solve your other issue of pictures and other such hard linked folders not being backed up. Rsysnc runs as a service, therefore as system so it won't run into permissions issues. Occasionally you may find it won't backup a locked/open file but you can use volume shadow service. I've not done this on a desktop only Windows Server but you may need to copy the vshadow binary from another system like Windows 7 or Server as it's not included in Windows 10. Then you could present a drive letter of the system state via a scheduled task or script and backup from that.

When i use the installation which comes with the distribution, the backupprocess crashes afte abou 30 minutes with --SNIP 016-11-03 11:30:03 full backup started for share Users 2016-11-03 11:59:10 Got fatal error during xfer (tar:712 Total bytes received: 23141913812) 2016-11-03 11:59:15 Backup aborted (tar:712 Total bytes received: 23141913812) 2016-11-03 11:59:15 Saved partial dump 0 --SNIP I thouhgt perhaps that has something to do with my smbclient version. On 16.04 its $ smbclient -V Version 4.3.11-Ubuntu So i compiled samba-4.5.1. Same error, samba-4.2.10 same error, samba-4.1.10 same error. samba-4.1.6 nearly the same: only "tar:711" instead of "tar:712". OK. So i tried samba-3.6.25. This time the backup job ended without error. Only it just lacks some directories! So "Pictures" are noti backuped, "Documents" are. All in the same share and only the share is configured. I suppose that has something to do with smb2/smb3 but i don't really know. Has someone any suggestions?
