Backup Exec 2012:
I am trying to configure new storage. I clicked on Configure Storage > Disk-based storage > Disk storage > Entered a name and Description > choose Network Share > and entered my UNC path : \\server\backup. When i click next I receive the error: A local path has been specified. Please select a local device if you wish to use a local disk.
The Backup folder is there and has the necessary permissions set. I can read and write to the share.
What am i missing?
thank you,

Looks like that share folder is local to Backup Exec server. If that;s the case dont configure the storage as a network share.. Instead configure a local backup to disk folder...

Other troubleshooting steps i have taken:
Backup Exec Settings > Network and Security > I have enabled: selection of user shares
and I have also added my server [the one listed in the UNC path] as a file server in the: add server wizard.
