Backup Device

I am trying to add a backup device to SQL that will use our NAS. When I enter
the UNC \\ProCom-SERVER\BACKUP\DISK.BAK for the file location I get a message
that SQL Server can not verify the existenance of the backup file location.
The path \\PROCOM-SERVER\BACKUP exist and I use it for other backup files.
The SQL Server is a stand alone server and is not a member of a domain and
neither is the NAS, this is in a peer to peer workgroup network. I have
applied service pack 4 as well.
Any help will be appreciated.
Does the account that SQL Server is running under have rights to that share
on the NAS?

Backing up to NAS - "network name is no longer available" Error

I'm backing up four databases to a NAS device on a nightly basis. All but
the largest db (which is 7GB) backup successfuly. The error in the SQL
Server log is:
"BackupDiskFile::RequestDurableMedia: failure on backup device" followed by
"Operating system error 64(The specified network name is no longer
available.)." I thank you in advance for your help!
Eric,
I am having the same problem with my backup routine (SQL2k). However, the
only difference is I'm backing up to a windows 2000 box with 200GB hard
drives instead of a NAS.
