Simple answer: it can't be done. The cvsnt server and the repository files
must be on the same machine.

Quick and dirty solution is to just to set up a scheduled job to copy the
files in your cvsnt repository from the cvsnt server to one of your
fileservers where it will be backed-up.

Other possibility is to persuade your friendly SA's to include your cvs
repository into the nightly backup scheme.
