Your configuration is not a good one for rsync. Best is if there is any possibility to change it as others have suggested so either: (a) the backup disks are mounted locally (not via NFS) to your main server, or (b) the machine with the backup disks is able to have rsync installed on it, and enough memory for rsync to run sensibly. As it is, it looks like most time is spent transferring files, since your logs say "File list generation time: 882.634 seconds" and "File list generation time: 927.970 seconds" which is only 15 mins if my arithmetic is correct. Even the total bytes transferred is only 90 MB or so. Which points to NFS speed as the main suspect, IMHO. As far as I can see, you haven't posted your NFS export and mount settings, nor any measurement of actual network transmission rates. Those would be useful to help diagnosis further. It may be possible to speed up NFS but your backups will never be as fast as they could be while you continue to use it.
