Hi guys , is it possible for amanda server to backup a NFS filesystem
mounted on the server?. I can backup local filesystems but when I try
to backup a NFS filesystem I get errosrs.
Yes, it possible, but it is not optimal.
We could help a lot better if you told us which errors :-)
Things to consider:
- You need to use GNUTAR (and not dump)
- normally "root" becomes "nobody" across nfs.
As GNUTAR runs as user root, any file that has not public read
access (or directory read+execute) cannot be backed up. There
exist export/mount options to avoid the root-nobody conversion.
