You have to benchmark whether udp or tcp nfs performance is better than
stuffing a bit-stream through a tcp pipe. I generally find that If I can
use really large block sizes (say 2MB) that the pipe is faster, of
course I'm also backing up tens of terabytes...
Read what I wrote about streaming tapes. To make sure that everything
got onto tape, I'd do a two-stage process. Eats a lot of disc, but
how much is your backup worth to you?
Tens of TB? Man!
