Hello @davejgreen

I tried the rsync attempt last week, then I erased everything on the new server to try again.
Ah! Thanks for the clarification. I indeed did not understand you correctly.

Then when I start the restore from there, doesn't this happen on the new server?
https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#dry-run-restore
Dry run skips DNS updates. The new server won't be publicly accessible - you access it using /etc/hosts entries on your local machine.
Dry run will not change any DNS records.
This also means, as soon as you hit the restore with dry run, when a redirect happens to your restored domain, you DNS will resolve to your production server.
This is why you need to update your local device /etc/hosts to prevent this.
If one does not do that, you can have a mixed view of the dashboard of cached content, the old server serving stuff and the new system serving stuff.

The first error message started with "Access denied." which makes me think the problem might be related to file and folder ownership and/or permissions, as I am often confused by these.
This could be an issue.
With this partial mount that is failing, can you review the access to that mounted NFS?
