There's a few options for NAS storage:

1. NDMP - this is fast, but won't leverage TSM's incremental-forever
strategy or include/exlude lists you get with BA client backups. You're
also locked into that vendor's implementation of NDMP, so after a disaster
you'll probably need to procure that vendor's storage.

2. BA client backup over NFS or CIFS. This requires a bit more setup but
gets incremental backups and include/exclude lists, plus doesn't lock you
into that particular vendor's storage.
