NFS mounts do turn up as storage devices in the Journal (at least on
Debian Squeeze). They will be treated exactly the same as other storage
devices, i.e. USB sticks and SD cards. I would expect CIFS mounts to
behave the same way. Don't forget to tweak the mount options to avoid
processes from going zombie-like on connection loss.

If you had an XS, you could probably use the DataManager activity [1].

A properly configured HTTP server will at least allow you serve
a) any kind of content with a proper Content-Type (-> mime_type)
   directly (but without other metadata) and
b) Journal Entry Bundles [2] including full metadata.

There's currently no way to create a (single-entry) JEB directly from
within Sugar. Writing an activity that does so shouldn't be hard; you
can copy the bundle generation parts from Backup [3].
