The problem with this solution is that it mounts a network file system. The
tape backup program will see this and not proceed to back this up. I need to
create a fake block device so that the proprietary tape backup program will
think it's an attached disk and not over the network.
Internally the block device pipes data over SMB, but the program doesn't know
that. It sounds possible to me, but I've never heard of it being done.
