It should work, as long as:

1) Your development tools works well in such a scenario (i.e.  compiler 
and linker, IDE, debugger, etc.). Some of those tools do a lot of I/O.

2) "Metadata" stored by CVSNT in the sandbox are not a security issue 
(or the permission on the sandox are well set)

If backing up the sandbox was important because commits are not enough, 
it would be better to find a way to backup the local sandbox instead of 
using a remote one.
