Is there some sound reason why you're backing up this share indirectly
via CIFS, rather than directly via a native Windows client?  Indirect
backup of this type is not recommended, and will heavily impact your
backup throughput, as every byte backed up has to cross your network
twice, to and from the client mounting the CIFS share, and therefore
limiting your backup speed for that share to AT MOST half the client's
available bandwidth.
