1. was the USB disk formatted with rear format /dev/sda ?
2. Does user root has write permissions on the NFS mounted filesystem? Test it out manually.

Re-tested,

1. rear format /dev/sda
2. root is allow to create directory and files on NFS export.

Rescue and Backup works if OUTPUT=ISO.

Maybe ? should be how to create a bootable USB from the ISO image on the
NFS Storage point?

thank You,

Thank you for your help. I was able to create a bootable USB from the ISO
image. This
method works better for our environment.

Great - did you use a special tool for this?

kiaina commented at 2014-04-01 21:19:¶

Sorry, for not responding. I used

isohybrid backup.iso
dd if=backup.iso of=/dev/sdb

Please close after this comment.
