Great, you'll have a frankenstein pony, which doesn't exist yet. You know what a flamewar is though, so you must have some sort of credibility. You're certainly buzzword compliant. Nice score on that post.
Time machine over NFS over SSH? I assume you know what that entails. Wait, no I don't. ZFS over FUSE? Sounds spiffy, maybe you could put another layer of abstraction in there somewhere to make things more reliable.
For real backup needs, tape is still king. LTO4 can write 120MB/s, twice that if the data is compressible, and has a 30 year shelf life. We're talking about cheap and easy though.. Well guess what? Nothing's changed since this came up last week. Choose your cheap storage option and take your backups offline if you want them to be safer.
