If the NAS is linux based, it might support the unix CIFS extensions,
but I don't have any experience with that.   I'd recommend adding
local drives to the box running backuppc even if they have to be
external.

If you like to live on the bleeding edge, there is a new alpha version at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/backuppc-beta/4.0.0alpha3/
that has a new storage scheme that does not use hardlinks.  Not sure
if it is ready for prime time, though.
