We just tested this.  We sent RMAN backups directly to a NFS mounted
filesystem with no problems.

Maybe I am wrong, but RMAN is not able to backup databases directly to NFS
file systems.
Options are: local disk or TSM.
By the way, TSM can be configured to use FILE pool using NFS mounted file
system. I think performance will be a serious issue in this case (max
60Mb/s via 1Gb Ethernet is not enough for Oracle backups).

Anyone out here thinking of sending oracle backup data direct to an NFS
target?
Care to elaborate?

What is driving the process?
TSM licensing ?
DBA control?
