How things work is a bit different than you might expect. I think a
decent explanation can be found here:

http://www.andy-burton.co.uk/blog/index.php/2009-08/citrix-xenserver-automated-live-vm-backup-to-windows-cifs-share/

I think that is probably enough to get the conversation going and may
be enough for you to put together a set of commands or a script that
meets your needs.

Thanks,
Todd
