Then you'd need to export the mountpoint that you mounted /dev/sdb1 at
as another NFS export or a WebDAV share or possibly as an sshfs export.
Assuming it's mounted at /media/backups and you want to look at it via
NFS, you could_add_ a line to your /etc/exports file:
/media/backups 192.168.1.0/24(ro,no_root_squash)
followed by an "exportfs -ra" command (to reexport everything). Then you
could mount the /media/backups export on your client and look at it.
NOTE: my example exports line exports it READ ONLY, so you can't write
to it, just look at it (which makes sense since it's a backup and you
don't want to mess with it).
There's always more than one way to do it.

Yes, and you have probably provided what I was looking for, I'll try
exporting it as you suggest, probably tomorrow and report back.
Thanks,
Bob
