Nope... :-)
Because: If NFS fails, ggate might have the same problem... Somehow I would try
to find out, why NFS fails... And finally: NFS allows multiple write access,
while ggate can only allow one single write access...

The ggate code is newer than the NFS implementation...
ggate's approach is much easier, but might react more funny on ur special
situation.

Setup a reference (test) system and try to use it as ur backup file server
(BUT: Do not forget ur real (production) backup during the test)... :)
