    Have you had a look at Service requirements in the post that I have linked above?

    Add the path in Basic Disk Storage Unit as UNC path.

    Next, change logon service for these 2 NBU services to a Domain user with full rights to the share:

    • NetBackup Client Service

    • NetBackup Remote Manager and Monitor Service

    See http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO34525

Thank you Marianne.

I prefer to use basic Disk.

A BasicDisk type storage unit consists of a directory on a locally-attached disk or a network-attached disk that is exposed as a file system to a NetBackup media server. NetBackup stores backup data in the specified directory.

My understanding :I will create avolume in my NAS and create a shared folder with read write permission.

Then from the master server (windows machine) map network drive?

or no need for this step and go forward to create basic storage and add the network- attached disk
