Hi,

I have the following script that does a backup via cpio to an NFS mount. The problem is that I only seem to be getting root. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here but it is not working. Following is the entire script. I've highlighted the areas where I think I have a problem or are at least relevant, I think.

#!/bin/sh
#
# Set configuration variables
#
NFSMOUNT='/mnt/nfs'
BACKUP_LOG='/usr/local/backup_logs'
EXCLUDE_FS='/mnt/nfs'
HARDWARE_LOG='/var/adm/messages'

export NFSMOUNT BACKUP_LOG EXCLUDE_FS HARDWARE_LOG

# Get date in MMDDYY format
MDY=`date +%m%d%y`

if [ ! -d ${BACKUP_LOG} -o ! -w ${BACKUP_LOG} ]; then
echo "${BACKUP_LOG} doesn't exist or isn't writable"
exit 1
fi

echo "### Backup starting at `date`"
# LOG_START is the number of lines in our hardware log
# when the backup began. We're not concerned with anything
# that occurred before now.
LOG_START=`wc -l < ${HARDWARE_LOG}`
# Strip leading and trailing spaces

LOG_START=`expr ${LOG_START}`

BACKUPTYPE="cpio"

# Get list of unix file systems to back up
MOUNTEDSYSTEMS=`df -F ufs | cut -d' ' -f1 | sort`
# Remove excluded file systems from list
for FS in $MOUNTEDSYSTEMS
do
case " ${EXCLUDE_FS} " in
# If its excluded do nothing
*" ${FS} "*);;
# Add entry to list
*) case "${FILESYSTEMS}" in
# List is empty so this is the first entry
'') FILESYSTEMS="${FS}";;
# List contains entries so append to list
