It simply auto mounts NFS mount points under /net/$host/$export so is no different than having manually mounted NFS mount points for the purposes of backing up.

Just be sure that your NFS host is set to export the appropriate file system location with the needed net mask so that your various nodes have permission to mount the exports with the appropriate r/w permissions. So long as your various nodes (on demand, other) have the autofs installed and enabled, simply accessing the appropriate /net/$host/$export folder will automount the export when needed. (You only need autofs installed and enabled on nodes, only the NFS host needs any real configuration this way)

Thanks! I wasn't aware this existed.

Have you used it with Solr backups?

    autofs should help with that.
