Backup Exec 15 - Network Share

Hi,

 

I installed backup exec 15 and added a network share as a destination for the backups.

The server hosting my file share run windows 2012.

 

 

Can I add a file share running on a NAS. I'm looking at Buffalo Terra Station 7000 series with over 70 TB hard disks.

What are the requirements in order to backup to a network share ? Does it need to be a Windows Server or can any NAS supporting CIFS or SMB would be ok?

 

 

Thanks,

Paul

    Yes, it will run with the core BE as well. The footnote just says that it will work with the Appliance as well.

    Hi.

     

    Thanks for the reply.

    I can't seem to open the link.

     

    I did check  Backup Exec 2014 its supported

     

    TeraStation 7000 [1] CIFS 4 S TeraStation 7120r, TeraStation 7120r Enterprise
    TeraStation 7000 iSCSI 4 4 TeraStation 7120r, TeraStation 7120r Enterprise

     

     

    But there is a note:

    1. Supported with the BE 3600 R3 appliance.

     

    Will this run just on Backup Exec edition (not the appliance) ?

     

     

    Thanks,

    Paul

    Here is the HCL 

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH227895

    If the NAS does not appear on the HCL, then test its functionality with the B2DTest utility below

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH69107

    If it passes all the test, then it is o.k.

    You would also need to purchase and install a remote agent licence for each remote server/device that you back up.  This is regardless of whether you can install the remote agent on the device or not.
