We purchased a couple NAS devices, i.e. Simpleshare 250gb storage server and Terastation Pro. We currently run Veritas Backup Exec 8.6, Rev. 3878, SBS on a MS Windows SBS 2000 server.
The data was moved to these devices because they were approaching capacity on the server's hard drives.
The data needs to be backed up to our tape drive on the SBS server.
We have created user-defined-selections for each of the folders on the NAS but the backup job fails with the following messages(one for each folder):
License Violation
This edition of Backup Exec does not include support for servers.
Please contact your vendor for information on upgrading this edition of Backup Exec.
Unable to attach to \\TS-HTGL73C\SHARE.
Access to the device is not authorized with this edition of the product.

No data is backed up!
Can anyone advise on what is required to backup the data on the NAS devices to a tape on the SBS server using Backup Exec 8.6, Rev 3878, SBS, please? I've visited different forums and come across similar situations. The solution seems to be that Backup Exec needs to be upgraded to a newer version, i.e. 9 or 9.1. Which version would be sufficient to back up the NAS drives, and does the upgrade need to be downloaded, purchased, etc.? Thank you for your time.
Many thanks,
Ted
