nfs backup storage fails silently.

[Daxcor]

I am trying to setup a backup location on a remote nfs server. When I go to setup the nfs storage via the datacenter, it goes through and sets up the storage.

storage.cfg snippet

nfs: nfs-backup
        export /home
        path /mnt/pve/nfs-backup
        server 10.20.10.22
        content backup,images
        prune-backups keep-all=1

when I run the backup it proceeds with no errors, however it silently fails to connect to the nfs server and saved the file on the local system at /mnt/pve/nfs-backup. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, is this not the intention of this type of storage configuration? when I am in the gui and I input the ip address of the nfs server it responds with the list of exports from the nfs server. so I know it is communicating with the nfs server.

I am running proxmox 9.2.9 non subscription. The nfs server is ubuntu 26.04 with nfs 4.2

I appreciate any thoughts or solutions.

Hi, @Daxcor.
This fact suggests that the NFS share isn't mounted in this location in the PVE server.
What does df -hT show?
