We just tested this. We sent RMAN backups directly to a NFS mounted filesystem with no problems.

Options are: local disk or TSM. By the way, TSM can be configured to use FILE pool using NFS mounted file system. I think performance will be a serious issue in this case (max 60Mb/s via 1Gb Ethernet is not enough for Oracle backups). Grigori G.
