Windows/SQL Backup to Data Domain 640

So it is possible.

How do you setup the CIFS share and access it?

my DBA schedule backup within SQL to go directly to a CIFS (via UNC path) on Data Domain.

search this forum, there was a recent discussion about that.

Ok, cool, so I thought I had a CIFS share all setup, I've verified that the AD integration is working.  I'm still having problems with authentication to the CIFS share.

I'm on version 5.4.08 so I should set permissions through the web GUI, correct?

I set it up with these parameters:

Hostname:  hbeddr01.corp.*****.org

Share Name:  CIFS

Directory Path:  /backup

Client:  hbeinf01.*****.org

User/Group:  corp.*****.org/server admins

Allow Browsing:  checked

Writeable:  checked

My account is part of the server admins group but when I go to hbeinf01 and navigate to //hbeddr01/cifs I'm prompted to authenticate but I get rejected every time.  Do I need to reboot the data domain, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

for test try to add * in the client field.
