Re: How exactly does Amanda get access to files?

My experience is that this is much slower than directly to the amanda 
server, but I guess there would be a lot of variable from site to site.

Thanks for the information. You folks answered my question about how
amanda has access to all files as root, and I believe you are right
about root squash. I will look at the NFS export to try to fix the
problem.

Alternatively, you can back up the files on the NFS server instead of on the
client.
