Hi Matt, Brandon has to add the User name that is used to access the cifs share in the local admin group of the machine where the Backup exec is running and add the user in the admin group of VNXe using the cifs server mmc in case of share level backup. In case of NDMP backup open Unisphere > setting > share folder server setting > in the page check the ndmp option and set the password then use any of the share folder server ip address in the Backup exec and user name as NDMP and the password and it works fine. Note: for share level backup Brandon has to configure the user in such a way that the user gets access to all the shares with full rights.   Thanks  Rohan
I've moved all of my company's network drives to our new VNXe3300 CIFS file shares, and that went fairly well. However, after getting everybody moved, I started setting up Backup Exec. When adding Backup Exec 'User Defined Shares' the system comes back with access denied. I've logged into a computer as the Backup Exec service account, and it pulled up the shares fine. Why would the VNXe deny it access for backup? Am I missing something?  thanks,  Brandon
Backup Exec + VNXe3300 CIFS Share = Access denied?
