Since you say you're new to Qubes, I hope you don't mind me asking:
Have you considered that it might not be optimal to attempt to
reproduce your current setup in Qubes? Many users (myself included)
have found that the functionality offered by Qubes is very different
from that of a conventional OS, so much of what we used to do on
conventional OSes no longer makes sense (or can be accomplished in
better ways).

For example, instead of sharing files via NFS directly between your
CrashPlan VM and your Windows VM (which is possible [1]), you could
consider storing your files in your Windows VM, where you use them,
then sending your Qubes backups [2] to your CrashPlan VM.

This is just one example. It may not apply to your specific situation,
but that's ok. It's mean to illustrate a more general point, which is
that you should be open to considering the new possibilities that
Qubes enables, rather than insisting on replicating old systems (that
were built on the assumption of a single, monolithic OS) in Qubes,
since doing so usually results in compromising the security by
compartmentalization Qubes provides.
