Archiving directly to NFS? Nope, wouldn't do it. NFS and automounter are too flaky to trust to a running database. Backing up to NFS? Sure, I do it every day. If my backup fails because NFS flakes out my database stays up and keeps servicing users. I can always re-run my backup. Just my $.02, though.
