I remember reading somewhere that SP4 can backup to Fixed Disks - can anyone provide me w/ a link to a HowTo, or a Help Keyword?

Telephia,
I don't think there is a document for that..
all you have to do is..
1.run device configuration from the ARcserve program group
Hit "Next"
2.select "File System Devices"
Hit next
3. It will prompt you to stop tape engine if it is running.
hit "yes"
4. File System Device configuration screen will come up.
Hit "Add"
Fs device will get added and highlighted(def: FS Name)
5. Click on FS Nameto change the name
6. click on the Blue Bar under Description and put in one
7. click on the Blue Bar under Location and click on the arrow to point the folder,which you want to be the FS device...
Follow thru the wizard.
Good luck
Cheers

Thanks, guys.
Any chance it will work w/ remote devices? (NAS, or Windows Shares?)

Yes it does...
Note:
ARcserve system account should have complete control over the remote share..

I was able to create the device, and add it to a device group. I connected the share as the Backup Service Account, and confirmed that it is writable.
But, when I look in device manager, it appears as though there is "No media in drive".
Any idea?

Created a share on a remote box. Assigned BackupService full control on the folder, Everyone has full control on the share.
On my Arcserve box, I logged in as the Backup Service account, and mapped the drive to M:. Confirmed that I could write and delete files to that Drive.
Ran the Device Configuration Wizard. Created a New Device name& Description, then from the selection dialog I selected the M: drive. Finished the Wizard.
Restarted the Tape Engine.
From the Device View, I now have a new adapter called "CA FSAdapter." My new device shows up, but the Right window pane indicates that there is now media in the drive.
If I do the same to a local disk, the Device view indicates a blank disk, but I don't have enough space to make this viable.

This is the last shot....
add the BackupService to the local "administrators" group on the remote machine where you have the share created...

Speshalyst,
i haven't been able to get this to work either. Could you give detailed instructions on how you did it? Perhaps even email some screenshots?
