Isn't there also the "hidden" shares by default which are supposed to provide more access? I think it is C$ by default, which is the full c drive.... Again, I don't use smb for backups, but I'm hoping this does help you. Ultimately, you still won't be able to backup open files, so you might still want to consider an alternate backup solution which will provide better capability to backup all files (eg rsync + vshadow).
