Enabling Services for Network File System (NFS) on Windows 2008 or 2008 R2
To restore individual items from a backup that uses Granular Recovery Technology (GRT), you must enable Services for Network File System (NFS). When this configuration is completed on the media server and the Exchange granular clients, you can disable any unnecessary NFS services. More information is available on which clients require this configuration.
