Having the database and backup on the same server is fundamentally unsound, no matter how you spin it. Hopefully, you will not have to prove that your company is SOX or HIPAA compliant and explain the great news about NFS to Deloitte and Touche. That would be cruel. BTW, these days people normally don't use "servers" to serve NFS shares, these days people use NAS. And no, there was no private email exchange mentioning that abbreviation.
