Thank you guys so much. I think I can figure this out. I discussed with a veteran sys admin and he is coming to the same conclusions about the keys and the process being offered to me here. I have one Windows server remaining to add via Samba. At least I'm not getting the 'unable to read 4 bytes' error with this one.

Presumably, root cannot login with password authentication. Of course, root will need to be able to login with public key authentication for backups to work.
