Configure Backups

It is assumed that a share has been created and a user account has been provided that will allow read/write access to the share.
The share that will be used is called backups, and the user name/password is Logicaldoc/password1234!.  An IP or FQDN can be used
to connect to the share.  At this point in time I have not been able to get the fstab function to correctly work as documented.  My
workaround is to skip 10.2.1 and use the following line in the fstab //10.60.50.10/backups /mnt/mountpoint cifs 
user=myuser,password=mypassword,auto 0 0.  I have been successful with that edit to the fstab, and will hopefully figure out what
is wrong!
