A less manual way would be to have the BackupPC server mount the SMB share, use BackupPC_Restore (I think - I haven't ever done this mind you, so I'm just speaking hypothetically!) and have it place the resultant .tar file somewhere on the laptop's SMB share, and then unmount. You could use cron to do this regularly and automagically.
