I created a backup plan to backup to a NAS via UNC (\\192.168.x.y\backup\pdc) on our Windows 2003 SBS, which stops after 1 sec with this error: "The operation was not performed because the specified media cannot be found."
I think this has something to do with the user running the ntbackup script itself. When I execute the ntbackup command in my administrator commandline, it works as it should. If the backup routine kicks in (it is listed in the scheduled tasks list, where one can i.e. run it manually), it does not work. I read something about a SBS Backup User, who executes the command.
How can I change that or how can I give that particular user the right (aka provide credentials) to access the NAS?

You should be able to specify the user account when you schedule the backup. Either in the advanced settings of ntbackup, or in task scheduler.
