So it is ok for this customer if their backup becomes silently 
corrupted and the backup software continues running?  Consider that 
some of the backup files may have missing or corrupted data in the 
middle.  Your customer is quite dedicated in that he will monitor the 
situation very well and remember to reboot the backup system, correct 
any corrupted files, and restart the backup software whenever the 
server panics and reboots.

A properly built server should be able to handle NFS writes at 
gigabit wire-speed.
