      Using XCPNG and XO from sources.
      I'm migrating my home lab VMs from Unraid to XCP-NG. I'd like to still backup my VMs from XCP-NG to Unraid

      I've set up a NFS share on Unraid.

      When I try to create an NFS share to use in my Storage (SR) pool, I can connect to it no problem.

      However when I try to create a backup job to back to this share, XCP-NG states no NFS remotes available.

      I go through the process and create a NFS remote on the settings page.
      I get this error when saving
      "mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 10.69.50.31:/UnraidBackup/XCPNGBackups"
      I have made sure NFS share is published on the unraid side and it requires no auth (internal only access)

      Suggestions?

        Settings > Remotes is where you configure the backup targets.

          Danp yes, I'm getting this error on the settings > remotes page.

          As you can imagine, I'm confused why NFS works on the main SR page, but not the settings > remotes page

          EDIT: never mind, discovered that I have to put the full share path, not just the share name.

          Example:

          \\10.69.50.31:Port:/mnt/user/UnraidBackup/XCPNGBackups
