You have to create a B2D folder on your NAS using the UNC path of the NAS before you can do backups to it

We already have shared folder on NAS storage and it is accesible on network, i defined map drive on backup server but it is not showing in backup exec while creating B2D, we can see only local drives.

Thanks

Backup Exec does not support mapped drives so as suggested earlier use UNC path of the folder

created on the NAS device.

The drive will not show up in BE. You need to specify the UNC path, something like \\server\share when you create the B2D folder

Thanks it is working, In B2D i defined \\NASserver\sharename.
