George, I used to do exactly like your example on my old infrastructure, with the difference that I did not run any client-initiated backups. Recoveries by SSID worked just fine. Unfortunately I can't test it now (no longer do NFS volumes). Why don't you try specify these NFS volumes as savesets and run server-initiated backups. Will it make any difference?


Well, I thought about that, but don't I need to use the '-L' option on the manual save command to force it to do this? I don't see how I can mimic that from the backup server for two reasons:

1. The backup server does not have access to that NFS mount point.

2. If I add that save set to the NSR client resource (nwadmin), I don't think the server will back it up when it sees it's not local?

Sorry, can't help more
