According to this: http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/nfs-server worldbooks 
used to support nfs and might be hackable to re-enable it.  But, 
internal or USB drives are pretty cheap now.  It might be easier to just 
use the worldbook for other data - or if you really want to hack it 
might be possible to make backuppc run directly on the device.
