Hello @silvio.filho,
Please consult your network administrator to assist with implementation of in the most secure way for Data Center Expert to connect to the NFS Server. Data Center Expert does not use authentication to connect to NFS Servers, so the connection should be restricted on the Windows Server side. There may be more secure methods of implementing the NFS Server for DCE connections. Below is just one method of quickly getting DCE connected to the NFS Server for being able to perform NFS backups to the Windows Server. Please consult your network administrator to assist with implementation in the most secure way.
I was able to do some testing around Windows Server NFS and was able to use the following steps to deploy an NFS server that would work on DCE 7.9.3 (should apply to 7.8.1 as well):
1) Install "Server for NFS" role if not already installed. Details on this can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/nfs/deploy-nfs
2) Navigate into File and Storage Servers and click on Shares.
3) In the upper-right of the Shares section click on Tasks and then New Share...
4) Select NFS Share - Quick > Next.
5) Select the path to where the Share will be created > Next.
6) Provide a share name > Next.
7) Check the following boxes > Next.
8. Add a Share permission for "Host" and enter the IP Address of the DCE Server. Set the Share Permissions to be Read / Write. > Add.
9. Add > All Machines > Share permissions: No Access > Add.
10. Next > Next > Create.
11. Within the Data Center Expert desktop client navigate to System menu > Server Administration Setttings > Backup / Restore.
12. Click Add Backup > NFS > Next
13. Enter the windows server IP and Share Name. In my example connection, everything else was kept to defaults, but can be seen in the following image:
14. Run the backup after creating it.
