I'm getting "unable to create new backup folder, access denied" when trying to creating B2D on Netapp cif share. Is it possible to back up data to Netapp cif share????

This article is in regards to using a NAS. I've had no issues creating B2D on a NAS. However, we are moving to a Netapp storage device and I have never configured B2D on a Netapp before. I'm assuming this is possible since it's only going to be creating B2D on a cif share on the Netapp. I'm not having any luck finding documentation or what is needed to configure this.

Its pretty much similar to creating a B2D on a NAS and hence the KB for checking permissions.  Run this tool to check if the NetApp share comes back as compatible or not - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH69107

To be honest easiest method would be to create an iSCSI LUN on the NetApp and attach this LUN into Windows. Then the volume will be seen with a local drive letter and configuring the B2D is relatively easy.
