Create a Backup Exec Backup-to-disk folder

Backup Exec refers to NAS backup targets as "Backup-To-Disk" folders, which may be one of three
types of folder:
Backup-To-Disk folder – This is used for CIFS shares or local disk devices
Removable Backup-To-Disk folder – Used for removable media devices, such as HP RDX
Shared Backup-To-Disk folder – Used with the CASO or SAN Shared Storage options to share
a NAS backup target across multiple Backup Exec Media servers.
When using an HP D2D CIFS share the "Backup-To-Disk" folder type should be used.
1. From the Backup Exec, Devices page select the Media server and right click, then select New
Backup-To-Disk Folder...
2. This will launch a Backup-To-Disk Wizard to step through the creation and configuration of a
Backup-To-Disk folder.
Enter a name for this folder that Backup Exec will use to identify it. A best practice is to use
the name of the D2D Backup System and share name in order to easily identify where this
backup-to-disk folder resides.
