BasicDisk is used for locally attached or network attached disks only.
To use a NAS device as a storage unit, you need the OpenStorage Disk Option licensed and your disk type would be NearStore.

I have a new system. NBU 7.0 is installed on Windows 2003 Standard Edition server. I have a Quantum Dxi4510 disk library where I have created three NAS shares. On NBU host, from Windows explorer, I can see all NAS shares and tested that I can write to them from NBU host by putting a small text file and then deleted. The I started defining Storage Unit in NBU at first as mapped drive but when NBU did not see the NAS shares, I started looking up the forum and found this thread. I had then procided exact same spec as Richard Hefner has mentioned above..i.e., I provided absolute path to directory as: \\<NAS_Server>\<SHARE> but NBU still can't see the share. Throws "Volume is down" with satus code 800. Disk logs shows the same.
Just FYI..Our SE had created "nbuadmin" user which belongs to "Administrator" group on NBU host and this user was used for installing NBU. The same user with admin rights also exist on disk library. A test to perform backup and save to local disk as well as tape library is successful but failes to see the NAS shares! I don't quite what is wrong..why Windows can see the shares but not NBU? Any idea? Thanks in advance for help!

Just in case any one reads my last question: It was solved..there were couple of services which had to be started with the same user (with admin privs) which existed on NAS, instead of local System account. Once done, things had started working.
