I used to backup my laptop hard drive to z/OS unix that way and continued to do it until about 5 years ago when I removed DFS/SMB from z/OS 2.2 knowing that it was going away the release after z/OS 2.3. There was no other usage at the time as everything else was using NFS. These days everything critical / volatile is backed up to the cloud by keeping it on my Onedrive as long as there is nothing sensitive / a security risk.
