why in dogs name are you using SMB, a Microsoft Windows protocol, for
Unix to NAS file sharing? Unix systems should use NFS for file
sharing. netbios is a tangled mess of poorly planned protocols with
extensions on the extensions, and warts on the warts (ports 137/138/139
were old NetBIOS, using NetBIOS-over-TCP aka NBT as the transport, while
port 445 is the newer native CIFS protocol introduced around Windows2000
time).
with NFS, you'd mount the backup directory somewhere, like /nfsbackups
just once at bootup time and each user would have their own directory in
it, /nfsbackusp/fred (or whatever) and only have read/write access to
that directory, managed via standard unix style chmod, chown ...
