Not sure where you got that "data" from. I have been using NFS for 3
years to mount a *very* low end DNS-323. The NFS part has been rock
stable (though initially I had some issues due to bugs in the old
2.6.12 linux kernel running on the NAS)

I believe several other people run NFS successfully too at least based
on my reading of this list.

Also NFS has been tried & true for decades and was stable even back in
the "old" pre-pc days...

Now I am not saying that there aren't newer or maybe even
better/faster etc. solutions but your statement on NFS for backuppc is
just not based in fact.
