It makes sense to store backup files on a separate server. To mount a remote samba share, just follow this (adapt it according to your setup):
First, create a target dir, e.g.:
mkdir /mnt/backup
nano /etc/fstab //windows-or-samba-server-name/sharename /mnt/backup cifs username=yourusername,password=yoursecretpassword,domain=yourdomainname 0 0
now you can test:
mount //windows-or-samba-server-name/sharename
Now you can use the backup target /mnt/backup on the web interface for VZDump - but do not forget to archive the files on the remote server to a tape drive.
