Below I assume you have the NV+ (v1 - silver chassis).
USB is CPU intensive. Sparc CPU is slow. Native Linux filesystem such as EXT3 (EXT2 is quicker still) would give best USB performance. Also there's an option under System > Performance to enable fast USB writes.
The backups are stored under /c/.timemachine (i.e. in the hidden ".timemachine" folder on the "c" volume).
You could connect via CIFS (i.e. \\ip.address.of.nas) as "admin" (Frontview user) and browse to the hidden folder on the "c" share.
You could alternatively share the destination on your PC and use Frontview backup to backup the Time Machine data.
Personally i backup Time Machine data NAS to NAS.
