Hi!
If it's possible with the NFS server and the exported directory structure,
you could also statically mount the entire directory containing
all home directories and backup that.
I.e. if the automounter mounts /userhomedirs/userX from the server under
/home/userX, you could also do a seconda

Okay. I'm hoping that someone can give me some kind of helpful
