Have you tried that in /etc/fstab? I'm not sure about opensuse, works
in fstab in debian.

can you mount it with:
mount.cifs <host>:<share> <mountpoint> -ousername=<user>,password=<pass> ?

This pdf seems to have some useful points:

Does the drive run sshd? if it does, that would make your rsync
backups much easier...
