Adding support for nfs mounts

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start "Flyback Backup Manager" from applications menu
2. follow instructions to create new backup
3. Mount point of NFS drive can not be selected in the list of "device you
want to backup to". 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected is to see the NFS mount point in the list "device you want to
backup to". There is not a way to select the NFS mount point as a target
for the backup.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
flyback_0.6.1_r111-1_all.deb, Ubuntu 9.04

Please provide any additional information below.
My NFS mount (a NAS, DNS-323 from Dlink) is mapped in such a way:
192.168.3.101:/mnt/HD_a2/ on /media/nas_data type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.3.101)
Previous version of fly-back (0.4.1) had no issues using this
directory/mount point.

I would also like to use a NFS mounted NAS for my backups.  Any updates on this?

This would be an extremely useful option - i.e. the ability to choose a 
different backup directory from network shares.
