Close.  Instead of mounting it with the VM mount it on the host machine.  This way its available to all VMs and you should be able to just use the back up to sent it there just like it was a physically connected drive.  But I get it if your already set on NFS.  Then you have your solution.  I've not used TrueNAS on a PI but hay if you get it going I would be interested in checking that out.  TrueNAS is cool.
