Can you run the backup against the host of the NFS drive instead of
another host mounting it over the network? The way rsync works is
that the host where it runs has to read the whole contents of each
file in order to use the block checksum algorithm to decide what
differences to send. If the drive is mounted over NFS, that complete
read will be over a network before it can decide how to reduce network
use sending to the rsync partner.
