I am about to set up a NAS on a local lan as a storage device. The

CIFS and NFS can be locally mounted but wonder if these any of these
other options could be used and whether they might offer
faster backups. Security is not a big concern as it will be on the
local LAN only.
Any advice/experience would be welcomed.

Hello Chris,
If the NAS/SAN does not offer iSCSI, then go with NFS.
I'd say save yourself the headaches associated with CIFS. :)
NFS is pretty fast, however, only NFS4 offers encryption on the share.
CIFS as a samba server should offer SMB3.2 with encryption per share on
the line, plus you probably can use the UNIX extensions. There are
especially with multiple users and more complex rights management less
problems with SAMBA/CIFS than with NFS.
Also, using extensively links for example is a lot easier when you share
them via CIFS as they will be transparent. in NFS you would have to
share the full drive.
Sharing the NFS drive as root makes more problem security wise than
shareing CIFS drives.
Both will need planning and thinking before implementing. SFTP and
WEBDAV are no good options for permanent drive sharing.
Cheers
