Could it be that I don't have a mnt directory? Do I need to make it or will the mount command make it?

Not it. Created it, no difference.

All Solaris distribution media AKAIK have /a and /mnt mount points.

When booted from DVD in single user mode you should be able to:

Code:
# cd /
# ls

and see both of them.

The standard use of /a is to mount the hard disk root filesystem so you can inspect it (for example, if the system won't boot from it) and the /mnt is usually for a 'media' device (for example, tape drive or NFS remote mount), but, of course, they can be used for anything the sysadmin wants to use them for.

I would think that 'access denied' means what is says.

Currently NFS comes in three versions, 3,4 and 5. They need to be matched between communicating nodes. Also, we may be being denied write access but we don't need write to do a restore.

So lets try:

Code:
# mount -F nfs -o vers=3 -r <NAS ip address>:<handle> /mnt

and try vers=4 and vers=5 too.

The -r means we will accept a readonly connection.

Try all combinations and see what happens.

Yes, some NAS can be configured to require a password but that is unlikely in this case if you didn't need one to mount for the dump.
No luck on any of those. Is there a way to add username and password to the command? (I manage the NAS)

Also.. my handle is a path like
Code:
/mnt/1/2/3..

does that sound right?

No, the NFS handle should be whatever (literally) it says in response to:

Code:
# showmount -e <NAS ip address>

which, although not impossible, I would not expect to include /mnt

In response to
Code:
showmount -e <NAS ip address>

I get
Code:
/mnt/<dir>/<dir>/<dir>/<share>         *

Is it possible for you to post the actual output?

So what says:

Code:
# mount <NAS ip address>:/mnt/<dir>/<dir>/<dir>/<share> /mnt

And, when the dump was taken on the other server, there was a mount command issued to this NFS handle. Can you post that exact command?

The NAS is always mounted on the existing machine. If I enter
Code:
mount

I see a name for the NAS- is that the handle? Ex:
Code:
/<dir> on <NAS_Name>:/mnt/dir>/<dir>/<dir>/<dir> remote/read/write/setuid...
