Backup of files using NFS a faster way

Hi All!

i am trying to copy files from a SCO Openserver 5.0.6 to a NAS Server using NFS. I have a cron job that takes 1.5 hours to run and most of the data is static. I would like to find a faster way. In the event I needed to running manually or avoid an issue with taking down the servers due to thunderstorms. Below is a copy of the shell script.

Any help will be much appreciated.
