NV-NFS --> NFS backup failing due to permissions
:? Need help with a permissioning problem between NFS systems. Here are the details - Backing up files from an NV (using NFS backup) to a network attached server (Kurobox HG) with NFS running. ...
My guess is that the NFS server is doing what's called root squashing, which means that when a user who is root is trying to perform some activity on the server over NFS, the root user can only access it as the squashed user, which is usually "nobody".
An NFS backup runs as the root user. Since his user is being squashed, he can't preserve file ownerships, which is causing the error you see.
