Create NSF backups on a UNIX server

If you need to do networked backups on Mac OS X systems 10.2 and above, it is possible to use NFS mounts. Open NetInfo Manager (in /Applications -> Utilities) and create a new folder under mounts, then include the following properties:
- opts : -P -c
- type : nfs
- dir : /users/username/folder
- name : server.domain:/path/to/the/export/dir
Make sure the server allows NFS mounts and that the directory in the user's home is created before setting up the mount. The only problem is that the find command won't work on the NFS mount.
