I know this is not what you asked, but I'm going to
say it anway: why are you using an NFS-served datastore for your
backup server?
2TB SATA drives are *cheap*, and creating an array
of them and directly attaching them to your BackupPC machine is *very*
straightforward. And then you wouldn't have the performance issues
of NFS (which exist even when things are *not* broken as they seem to be
in your case).
What is the compelling advantage of using the NFS
storage?
