A SAN would do since you're creating an ordinary file system on top it. The file system needs to support real hardlinks to be usable with BackupPC. AFS doesn't really fit since you'd need to create one large BackupPC volume, so you're just moving the problem from local to remote server (that is managing a very large chunk of file system).
