Hi,

We have set up a NFS backup server.

For example:

/home/backup_client1 IP(rw,syn,no_root_squash)

Without the option no_root_squash, the remote server has only "nobody" rights to the NFS share.
With option on, the share gets root rights.

Is root right to the nfs share to /home/backup_client1 secure? Are the root rights only limited to that specific /home/backup_client1 share? Or does it get also possibility to get more rights to other directories?
