This is INCORRECT, NetWork Diskfit will indeed backup any remote volume over
TOP's with no problem. The only idiosyncracy is that TOP's isolates the System
file and will not back it up. DiskFit reports file not found. 

I do not know what you were doing, but obviously you were doing something
wrong as I backup remote volumes all the time.....
