Backing Up the File System to an NFS-Mounted Directory
The file system can be backed up to a directory that is located on a Network File
System (NFS). You must be able to access the NFS directory through the
/net/<remotehost>/<path_to_NFS_directory> directory structure. In addition, the
/net/<remotehost>/<path_to_NFS_directory>/< hostname > directory must
already exist, and you must have write-access to the directory or the backup will fail.
