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.
