Seagate Backup Plus Desktop 1TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Google Affiliate Ad)When setting up Symantec Backup Exec 12, and using a NAS(Network Attached Storage). If you have problems creating Backup to Disk Folder on a remote NAS, such as a Thecus N5200. I recommend you follow the following instructions (on Windows Server 2003)

• Click Start, Control panel, Stored Usernames and Passwords
• Click Add, Then enter in the Fill out the sheet

1. Server {Either the IP or the Name, if it is in the DNS}
2. Username {type it in or choose it from the list, ie N5200\backupagent}
3. Password {type in the password}

• Repeat for each NAS

• Verify the credentials work

1. Click Start, Run and then then enter in the ip or Name of the NAS+ Backup folder ie \\192.168.1.15\backups

• Then go back into the Symantec Backup Exec Control Panel and create the folders
