Yes, I was able to do this in the server but I would like to be able to
mount the server from this computer and see the resulting backup copy,
actually list the files, etc. and have confidence the backup is working.
It probably isn't necessary but I'd like to do it as a check.
Then you'd need to export the mountpoint that you mounted /dev/sdb1 at
as another NFS export or a WebDAV share or possibly as an sshfs export.
Assuming it's mounted at /media/backups and you want to look at it via
NFS, you could_add_ a line to your /etc/exports file:
/media/backups 192.168.1.0/24(ro,no_root_squash)
followed by an "exportfs -ra" command (to reexport everything). Then you
could mount the /media/backups export on your client and look at it.
NOTE: my example exports line exports it READ ONLY, so you can't write
to it, just look at it (which makes sense since it's a backup and you
don't want to mess with it).
There's always more than one way to do it.

Yes, and you have probably provided what I was looking for, I'll try
exporting it as you suggest, probably tomorrow and report back.
Thanks,
Bob
