I use Sharity to mount the Windows CIFS share in my server's filesystem, then 
just gtar directly to a file in the mounted Windows filesystem.

Or is there another backup method I should be using?

Nothing wrong with backing up files to a Windows machine; nothing says that if 
the
source machine is Linux the destination machine has to match.

What if instead of simply copying the files over you instead ran the user's 
maildir or
the site's maildir tree through tar/bzip/gzip/zip/whatever?

Out of curiosity, why would you copy the files as they are one by one instead 
of a
large, compressed chunk?
