@viper1986 Try tomorrow again with the latest snapshot of rear (with above fix included)

viper1986 commented at 2017-03-15 08:34:¶

Hello,
Thank you for quick response. I try today and it works!

But I have little problem with NFS. I want to change some NFS option of mount. Now I got
mount -t nfs -o rw,noatime 169.254.252.10:/data/col1/rear /tmp/rear.VZ0sSt5OmzzRCw2/outputfs
and I want to change -o rw,noatime to:
-o hard,intr,nolock,nfsvers=3,tcp,timeo=1200,rsize=1048600,wsize=1048600,bg

In which file I can find configuration for this? Or maybe this is system default?

The initial issue here is fixed with
https://github.com/rear/rear/commit/6c477d4e99edeb21a1a8c7649c24b2a56de535a7

@viper1986
I did not check the details of this issue here
but in general for NFS mount options see
the usr/share/rear/conf/examples/SLE1*
example config files - therein note the
BACKUP_OPTIONS variable

In general regarding third party backup tools (like BACKUP=NSR)
see the section "Relax-and-Recover versus backup and restore" in
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disaster_Recovery

In general there is nothing at all what I could do in case of issues
with third-party backup tools or any other third-party software
because I do not have such software on my test systems
so that I can neither test nor reproduce anything, cf.
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/823
