Backing up to a NAS

[JColletti]

I have a NAS connected to my network. Is it possible to have Backup Exec 12.5 backup my server and store the backup files to the NAS like an external hard drive?

[Ken_Putnam]

yes

But see the Admin Guide page 389

Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices
If a NAS device is emulating a Windows operating system, contact the NAS
manufacturer for assistance before creating backup-to-disk folders on the NAS
device. Symantec does not certify NAS devices. If the operating system is a
proprietary operating system and not a true Windows operating system, Symantec
cannot properly troubleshoot the device.

Hi JCiaccio,

Let me know the NAS make & model

I just recently set up backup exec and want to use it in conjunction with Consolidated Backup (VMware).  How can I add the NAS as storage?  I keep trying to add it as a device, and it won't work.  I am using a AIC RSC-5D-2Q1 NAS.  It runs a linux operating system.  If any other details are needed, please let me know.
