    Backup of NAS devices have been there in Backup Exec since 8.6 days. It is not supposed to be a part of HCL, as we are not discussing about hosting a backup to disk folder on this NAS box. For B2D hosting, there is a b2d test tool which can be used to analyze compatibility. For remote backups, NDMP option was introduced in 11d to support Netapp and then EMC, but for other NAS devices CIFS still remains a method. But, this is not the best way to go as it doesn't use NDMP.

    Thanks
