I actually had TCP/111 open and still had the failure... should I open UDP/111 
as well?

This is what I get when I run rpcinfo -p "clientname" (From Backup
Server):
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp   7938
    100000    2   udp   7938
    390436    1   tcp   8292
    390435    1   tcp   9367
    390113    1   tcp   7937
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp   7938
    100000    2   udp   7938
    390436    1   tcp   8292
    390435    1   tcp   9367
    390113    1   tcp   7937

And this is what I get when I run rpcinfo -p "Backup Server Name" (From client):
