BlueHarvest 7.1.2 – Disable DSStore creation and more. BlueHarvest is an exterminator for your Mac's unnecessary Desktop Service Store (DSStore) and resource fork (AppleDouble) files. Whether you manage a version control system or just want to maximize your available memory, DSStore and AppleDouble files are a nuisance.

There are several 'work-arounds'. I have not tried these. Maybe I could be motivated. I have Windows XP in a virtual machine.
1) Tell windows file server not to store the files on the server:
2) Tell Mac client to skip hidden files.
As you would have to disable writing of hidden files on every mac that could connect to your share, a better option would be to stop this at the share and not on the clients.
All you need to do is to edit your share config (for example in Linux in /etc/samba/smb.conf) and add the following option into your share config:
Now no Mac clients can save any files with those patterns to your share.

[ At one time, Apple used the open source version of samba. So, I assume the veto option was present. Not sure what Apple has done in the latest version. ]
Summary of possibilities. At one time, there was a command line to turn off some or all of these hidden files. Didn't work in Mavericks. Don't know if it was restored in Yosemite.
Not sure why these files would interfere with backup. There files like any other hidden file.
