Are you running into the "root_squash" problem? Root on the client is normally mapped to the user "nobody" on the server. And that user "nobody" is probably getting the "permission denied" error when trying to access the directory. I just updated the wiki there: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/How_To:Backup_Partitions_Mounted_via_NFS Are you 100% sure that "backing up the entire mount" succeeded (or did Amanda exclude everything below the mountpoint :-) ). -- Paul Bijnens, xplanation Technology Services Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, * * F6, quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * init 0, kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
