You can use a pretty wide array of storage back-ends for Time Machine, 
actually. Wish I had the link handy but I saw some benchmarks recently 
of a Mac client connecting to zfs backed server through several 
supported protocols: smb, nfs, afp. Performance-wise, using afp wiped 
the floor with the other two.  But it takes a little more work to set it up.
