Hi,
I got stuck at this point. I want to configure disk staging for catalog backups.
I have a DSSU01 configured where local drive path is defined for catalog backup.
I enabled disk staging on DSSU01 and started to configure it. For this I created another DSSU02 as destination Disk Storagge Unit and specified it.
But now I want the backup to go not on the local drives but to another server in the network.
How to do it? There is no option in the DSSU02 where I can specify the NAS path.
I know to use methods other than netbackup (like robocopy) but I am raising this question just because I want to know if it is possible to do so through Netbackup. Is NAS backup possible?
Thanks.

You cannot use Admin share.
First create a share on the source with a share name (e.g. DSU) with write permission to the user that you have used on the NBU master/media server to start the appropriate services.
Specify the share name in the DSU path: \\servername\DSU

Please explain this statement?
NAS path can be specified using UNC path.
Something like IP-address\share-name

Hi Marianne,
1. DSSU01 and DSSU02 created. DSSU01 main STU\Stage 1 and DSSU02 destination STU. I will configure disk staging on DSSU01.
2. DSSU01 - backup goes to the local drive path specified say F:\ drive
DSSU02 - I want to specify here NAS path as destination path for Stage 2.
I tried to add the path \\servername\d$ (NAS path) but it said $ character is not allowed.
