Thanks for Attention

My Problem is Solved with iSCSI Protocol use in BE server and NAS.

I try to connect to NAS with This Address "\\10.20.30.5\BE" but BE show invalid warning.

my NAS use SAMBA but can not connenct it.

after too try and chenge sharing protocol to iSCSI and add iSCSI Initiator in server and add new drive in server my problem solved.

BUT!!! actualy in this method i use local drive for backup Disk and no Network Path.

iSCSI is the recommended connection method for storage on a NAS because

1) iSCSI protocl is optimized in a better way for storage access over network than CIFS

2) It is much MUCH easier to configure

The problem with acessing shares via UNC is that the SMB version, The NT Lan Manager authentication requirements and remote access at a service level all have to work against the Service Account used by Backup Exec. Unfortunately troubleshooting all these things if it does not work is a nightmare, where as a comparison iSCSI is a simple case of setup the initiator with the correct access and BE operates a local user directly into the volume instead of a remote user and the access problems then go away.
