[nflug] backups on an nfs server

[eric]

Mark I was very unclear how explained, my apologies.  Your answer was my
question would it be better to just run tar on the nfs server itself and
then running -u after the intial tar package is created... I said
increment because I was used to ntbackup which is similar or the same
thing as -u update in tar

my only concern for running the backup on the samba server was their is
limited space and I want to have a monday - friday backup which would
eat all the space, thus I put the backups on a larger server the nfs server.

Thank you,
Eric
