Error description
When trying to backup systems with nfs mounted filesystems that are exported with anon=-1 using mksysb, nimadm or alt_disk_copy, backbyname fails to backup the nfs mount points. The error is : The file access permissions do not allow the specified action. cannot access ./<nfsmountpoint>: So the restore will not restore the nfs mount point and upon reboot the restored system will not mount the nfs filesystems.
Local fix
unmount anonymous nfs filesystems before the backup or create post installation script to recreate the mount points.
Problem summary
backbyname command does not backup anonymous NFS mount points.
Problem conclusion
Made changes to backbyname so that if a directory is not readable backup just the directory (contents cant be backed up due to lack of access) if its parent dir is readable (like tar cmd). With this change, the anonymouns NFS mount pts will be backed up & restored.
Temporary fix
