You always need sd-card booting from for < RPi3. Only RPi3 can boot from USB directly (but this is still experimental feature)

AFAIK it is not possible having root fs on CIFS/SMB. Only NFS is supported

Quote:What would be the set up if it is possible and would auto backups still be possible?

That is interesting question Smile I suppose it should work. I can't see anything hardcoded in the backup functions
