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.
