Question : BackupExec Problems Creating BackupToDisk folder on Buffalo Terastation Pro

I'm on day 1 of my 60-day trial of BackupExec 2010 and I can't seem to create a new backup-to-disk folder for my Buffalo Terastation Pro NAS.  Whenever I try to access the teraserver from within BUE I get a message saying "failed to log on to <teraserver>.....the directory or file was not found, or could not be accessed."  

BUE prompts me to use another logon account, and I've tried several unsuccessfully, including:
- BUE system logon account (domain admin account)
- domain admin account ([email protected])
- the user account that I use to logon to my terastation remote admin website

My teraserver is connected directly to my switch via ethernet cable, I have AD integration enabled on the teraserver and very recently refreshed, I've created shares on the teraserver, I can see these shares from Explorer, I can map drives to these shares.

I hope that one of the experts can help me out, and I will *gladly* award points to anyone that can provide the solution.

Answer : BackupExec Problems Creating BackupToDisk folder on Buffalo Terastation Pro


I just noticed something strange.  when setting up the new "backup-to-disk" folder, BUE will not let me navigate or browse to the teraserver folder in the traditional tree structure.  If I specifiy the UNC path directly without "browsing", then the device gets configured properly in BUE and I can submit backup jobs to that device/folder.  Why???

So for now it seems to work if I do not attempt browse to the directory.
