When you refer to storage node, you are in fact talking about the
NetWorker server, is that right?

The error message indicates that the client is not allowing a backup to
be initiated from the NEW name of the server. To fix this you need to
add machine1-backup to the servers file on machine2, and restart
NetWorker on machine2.

If you want to force the backup traffic from savefs to go via the backup
network you will need to modify the "server network interface" field for
the client, or possibly the storage node affinity list for the client.
