I think you would need to mount Samba on the Raspberry PI device so it can see Windows shares. I have done this with PC Linux but not with Raspberry Pi. <br />
<br />
Why not back it up to a local system using the SD card?

smbclient is command line samba client. No mounts etc.<br />
<br />
I would recommend cwrsync server on Windows and rsnapshot on PI (actually for power efficiency vice versa)

Is there a script available to backup a raspberry pi device over the network to a Windows share ? I know there is an a local SD backup method but these systems are 100 of miles away from my office<br />
<br />
I need to start patching but if something goes wrong I need to know I can get the full working system back.<br />
<br />
thanks

Backup Raspberri Pi over the netowrk to a Windows Share

The Raspberry Pi Foundation works to put the power of digital making into the hands of people all over the world, so they are capable of understanding and shaping our increasingly digital world, able to solve the problems that matter to them, and equipped for the jobs of the future.

We provide low-cost, high-performance computers that people use to learn, solve problems and have fun. We provide outreach and education to help more people access computing and digital making. We develop free resources to help people learn about computing and how to make things with computers, and train educators who can guide other people to learn.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
