Ah, yes, that's possible, I have a much "cheaper" environment - and also a setup smaller by magnitudes. I had the impression that many very small disk accesses (as backuppc does when checking for newer file version etc.) is already a bad disk usage pattern by itself. And NFS didn't handle it better either ... Anyway, nice to know that a specialized NAS device could help there. Thomas
