Personally I would tar.gz the data before pushing it onto a Windows system. I've got a Sun Ultra 5 here running OpenBSD as my firewall/fileserver/webmail system and once per week I tar/gzip my user's home directories into backup files and then a scheduled task on a Win2k box collects them at 4am via scp for the weekly backup to DVD+RW.
If you're serious about connecting Windows systems to UNIX systems, look at
Microsoft's Services for UNIX (SFU). You may find the NFS server/client features useful for interchanging files if you're not on-board with SSH.
