How to mount a NAS drive share for Windows NT Backups

Hello all,

I have Seagate Black Armor NAS device.
It's joined to domain and file shares are created with appropirate user read/write rights.

I want my server to be backing up on to this NAS device and it's fully accessible.

If I map this drive via "Map a drive" as a network drive, Windows NT backup wizard says, NT Backup can not be stored on to a network drive.

I researched about it but could not find how to mount it. I think " I think " I need CIFS mounting.
On my share I've enabled CIFS andNFS access via NAS device's control panel.

Any help really appreciated,

Thanks.

I put the full UNC path. It was share restrictions. I realized it when I gave public access, then I changed my backup user and gave full access to that user from NAS device's settings, it works like a charm.

Thanks for all answers.
