Hi all,
I have Symantec Desktop Laptop Option (DLO) and I want to create a path for the NAS but unfortunately DLO ask me to enter the path like example C:\myfolder because it gives me an error if I put it this way \\buffalostation\desktop . Is there a way to assigned drive letters on NAS? since symantec website states:
"Make sure that the volume desired to be used for DLO has been assigned a drive letter on the remote storage location or NAS device. See hardware vendor documentation on share creation and naming."
Current Settings:
NAS is configured using Active Diretory and Joined the Domain
NAS is attached to the Network
Hardware
Buffalo TeraStation TS-XL/R5
Thank you guys in advance.
you can map the drive manually in Computer/My Computer and assign a drive letter.
Start => My Computer => Tools => Map Network Drive:
Assign a Drive Letter (Z: by default)
Folder: \\IP_Of_Nas\Name_of_Shared _Folder => OK.
I think it did not work on my part... Yes I did already to map the network drive of the NAS but Symantec Desktop Laptop Option the one I used for backup software doesnt recognized the path.
I think it should be putting Drive letters to NAS itself.
Any ideas?
Are you sure the backup software can write to a linux based Nas? There are alot of issues with other software being able to do this.
done..i found an article on the symantec how to backup on nas without assigning drive letters http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/298956.htm
