- MKlink
- Net use
- Default Network mapping (in the explorer)

I believe there are a ton of tools that you can make a connection as a normal drive mapping with a ftp site. Since your nas is bound to have ftp too.. maybe you can try that.

DJ,
You can use iSCSI if there is support for it on your NAS.
Windows XP iSCSI drivers are for free, you can download them from MS website.
Windows XP and all the other software will see the new drive as local drive.

Thanks for the tips.
I have first try the iSCSI sollution, but the NAS can work only with 1 user at the same time on the same drive, so this is not the right way i whan't.

So i have look at the FTP, and i find a free software tool "NetDrive" to connect a FTP adres to a local driver so the backup software can now see the NAS.
Thanks for the help.

Grtz,
