    Hi

    You have to make sure the Account that is running the Netbackup PD Agent has permisisons to the folder you are trying to backup on the UNC path.

    By Default the Netbackup Agent uses the "Local System" account which does not have network acecss to remote folders.

    I have an account called "Service.WinBackups" which has elevated prvilleges. You will need to assign what ever security group on the fileshare you are trying to backup to an account you set to run Netbackup Puredisk Agent. You also then need to get the two services that Puredisk runs to "logon as" as that account.

    Hope this helps.
