Test also on remote source (NFS) #15

Hi, I suggest to also add a config option for backupping remote source (not just remote repo as it is already done) on NFS (it may also be on the same local system). Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. Since the script already supports local targets, one may mount remote NFS servers and point the target directory to that mountpoint. I don't think I have to modify anything but the configuration to make NFS benchmarks.

Great, just to be clear, I was suggesting to also publish the results on the main page, and that the NFS source could also be on the same system (exporting and mounting on localhost, this would take into account the overhead of NFS, without incurring in real network bottlenecks, that may depends on your own network type). Thanks for this useful tool.

That's a good idea indeed ;) Time being always short, I'll do this if I get to be bored a weekend ;)
