can you share following
```nohighlight
showmount -e
cat /etc/fstab
```
Did you set the NFS export on Ubuntu to r/w?

this the output:

About the NFS export on ubuntu I followed the steps suggested here [https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ubuntu-nfs-server](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ubuntu-nfs-server), in the Export Shared Directory chapter… is this correct?

You created the NFS export to be reachable for IP 192.168.1.15 only. This is correct?
ok pls do following
1. open file /etc/fstab
```nohighlight
nano /etc/fstab
```
1. replace following line
```nohighlight
192.168.1.96:/ /mnt/nfs_client nfs nofail,noauto,x-systemd.automount
```
with
```nohighlight
192.168.1.96:/mnt/dietpibkp /mnt/nfs_client nfs nofail,noauto,x-systemd.automount
```
1. save the file
2. reboot your system
3. check if the new mount is working
```nohighlight
cd /mnt/nfs_client
df -h
touch demo.file
ls -la
```

thanks Joulinar
Now I found the location in the NFS server and it let me launch the backup but (there is always a but 🙂 )
After launch, it gives me a lot of: “failed: operation not permitted (1)”
Not only a lot, but every single file failed…

Sorry
I re-launched the backup and everything went well 😉 .
Just the last question before closing the topic: Does the backup includes everything that is installed in the dietpi?
I mean does it include also everything is saved also in my personal cloud on owncloud?

Sorry, another question:
I saw the location of the backup is this one:
```nohighlight
Current backup and restore location: │
│ - /mnt/backup/dietpi-backup
```
Is this the right place?
In the drive manager, I checked also the drive I thought the backup should be:
```nohighlight
/mnt/nfs_client : 192.168.1.96:/mnt/dietpibkp | nfs4 | Capacity: 457G |
```
Is this right?

you would need to change backup location to /mnt/nfs\_client
usually ownCloud data are included if they are located on SD card, as we include whole /mnt/dietpi\_userdata/
You should be able to have a look into the backup folder to see what data are backed up

yes looks like permission issue. Have a look to NFS server side. I checked the guide and probably section Configure Shared Directory did not fit as you changed permissions to nobody:nogroup. Try to change the folder on Ubuntu to root:root

Nothing to do… still the same problem but I notice one thing:
when I mount the drive in dietpi I used this name: mnt/nfs\_client, in fact when I try to select the new directory where to save the backup it shows me this option /mnt/nfs\_client : 192.168.1.96:/ | size: 457GiB | available: 197GiB.
Since on ubuntu I called the drive /mnt/dietpibkp, could it be possible it cannot recognize the right directory?

can you do following
```nohighlight
touch /mnt/nfs_client/demo2.file
ls -la /mnt/nfs_client/
chown root:root /mnt/nfs_client/demo2.file
chmod 777 /mnt/nfs_client/demo2.file

you still have permission issues to write to your NFS share.

Yes looks like… but how can I mount this drive /mnt/nfs\_client : 192.168.1.96:/ | nfs4 | Capacity: 457G | Used: 237.4G if I have not permission on it? I mean: I see it, I can connect to it but I can’t write, read it?

Reading the share is not an issue. It’s writing files “only” 😉
How does your /etc/exports looks like on server side.
