using samba for backups

[Marty Landman]

Maybe a dumb question, but now that I have samba servers on all three of my 
nix boxes with mapped drives on my two windows workstations there's a great 
temptation brewing in my mind to backup things directly on mapped hard drives.

Are there any potential pitfalls to this approach, iow are there any 
compatibility issues that come up if I copy files from a nix box to a 
windows box and vice versa?

On the side it's getting to be such a pleasant development environment on 
my lan that I can't help shake this awful feeling that something's going to 
mess up big time.
