Unfortunately I also have to replicate the [homes] and the [profiles] share in order to get a really working backup solution.

I'm willing to pay that price, already had to disable oplocks completely, because of some stupid applications located on users home share (in its documentation its written: You need to create a share, with full rights for everybody who will be using the program), well symlinked of course.
