Backing up to a NAS

[CWTokyo]

When would you use a virtual disk? 

And I've never used BE to backup to a NAS, only to tape drives. How do I select the backup destination? The NAS gets mapped a drive letter, right? Do I backup directly to that drive letter and then a path, i.e. N:\backup\monthly or something?

You cannot use a mapped drive because mapped drives are associated with an online session and BE runs as a batch job.  You need to use the UNC path of the drive to access it.

Thank you, that's what I needed to know.
