Unable to backup to NAS drive

Hi, I've just purchased a 1Tb Western Digital NAS drive and would like to know how to configure the HDD for NAS backup using NDMP.   Additionally, I can see the network shares in Windows Explorer...

    Wayne,
    NDMP backups are supported so far, only for EMC or Netapp filers. You may want to create backup to disk folders for WD NAS drive. Brose to devices tab and create a backup to disk folder and provide UNC path as destination. Ensure that Backup Exec service account has read/write share permissions on the folder to which you are performing the backup.

    Please mark it a solution, if this is useful.

    Thanks

 NDMP is reserved generally for enterprise class products, not WD SOHO NAS devices.

UNC is your only choice as mentioned by Symantec.
