Cannot connect via nfs, only ftp
My network has two NAs devices - a NetGear ReadyNAS 102 (2x1TB) and a STOREX (French NAs device, 1x500GB). I'm trying to configure a weekly backup of critical files from the ReadyNAS to the STOREX sy...
I think we might be getting closer to our cause of errors. I attempted that command and received this error:
"showmount: can't get address for "
I'm going to attempt CIFS after the current backup attempt inevitably flops, fingers crossed!

Maybe try this variant:
showmount -e 127.0.0.1
That worked! I just started the 14GB backup job with nfs and fingers crossed it doesn't time out or fail.
The 14GB Backup finished in abour 80 minutes - a VAST improvement and with no errors. Next I'll be running our full >100GB backup with nfs but I believe it'll work
our >100GB backup has completed as well with nfs.
In addition, I've realized the NAS device was set to receive it's network settings via DHCP instead of being static. It might be on the lease renewel that it loses connection during long backups (the 14GB to the cloud) so I've set a static address and I'll be waiting on the status of the initial FTP backup to the cloud.
As far as I'm concerned, this is solved!
