Hello 

I have a query using NBU7.6

If I backup a windows machine d:\test_data (1TB) and if I want to restore that data on to a CIFS share which I have mapped on a different windows machine. Can I do this. 

 

Thank you

Yes. It can be done.

Choose the destination client as NBU client with access to the share. 
Ensure NBU Client service logon account on destination client has write access to the share.
Specify restore path in final screen as UNC path.

If the CIFS share is not part of the same MS domain as the source client, you will probably need to choose 'Restore without access control attributes' in final restore screen.
