seen any product offered like that. Maybe the drawbacks areBob,
insurmountable.
I don't think they are. I've been toying with this exact concept for some time, for the exact reasons you've stated. Specifically, I wrote a perl script that essentially rides on top of Samba to perform archiving of Samba shares. For example, it archives, by machine name, every share on a subnet with the name "backup" to a share called "archives". The real bottleneck, IMO, is SME <5.6. The 2.2.19 kernel limits the file size that one can transfer across Samba to 2gb. Archive files (i.e., tarballs) get cropped if they exceed the 2gb size limit.
I definitely plan to revisit this effort when SME 5.6 is released.
