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.
