About configuring services for NFS on Windows 2008 and 2008 R2 (NetBackup for VMware)
For instant recovery of virtual machines, the Services for Network File System (NFS) must be installed on the Windows restore host and media servers.
Note:
Before you configure NFS on the media server or restore host, look for the ONC/RPC Portmapper service. If it exists, stop it and disable it. Otherwise, the configuration of NFS Services for Windows fails.
