In reply to Zack.

you have to add these 2 commands after entering recovery mode
# ip addr add 192.168.0.50/24 dev enp0s3
# ip link set enp0s3 up

Hi,
1)I successful make “rear-localhost.iso”, do I need to make “backup.tar.gz”?
2)Can I make pendrive as bootable instead burn to CD/DVD? because I already try use pendrive as bootable, it cannot load to “REAR” interface

Please advise.

Thanks

In reply to Zack. 1. Check you have network connectivity with nfs server. : -->ping nfs_server from recovery point. 2. Try to mount the exported filesystem -> mount -t nfs nfs_server_ip:/exported_dir /local_mount

In reply to Zack. Hi Jack, I believe your rear export location is not properly exported. First try to mount it manually. If worked, then go for rear. From the error it seems you have port connectivity issue.
