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

I've got this working except

# rsync -avr /home/exports/ /mnt/test/backups/
produces copies of directories devoid of files.

It looks like I have to do:

# rsync -avr /home/exports/*  /mnt/test/backups/

The -r is supposed to get everything recursively but but it did not get the files without the "*" ...

With your help I had enough confidence to experiment with the NFS exports and the backup disk appears to be working as I wanted. /dev/sdb1 appears to have a complete copy of the data stored on /dev/sdb1 for a backup. And I can access it from an Fedora 27 workstation.

I am still wondering why rsync did not copy everything recursively without the asterisk?

Thanks for the help,

Bob
