I have Ghost 15.0.1.36526 installed on Win7 x64. My backup destination is a NAS appliance that provides a SMB/CIFS share. The NAS appliance has no password protection to access the share. I couldn't set a password if I wanted to.
The problem is that Ghost requires both a user name and password to access a network drive or share. I can enter a user name but I cannot finish configuring the backup job without a share password. If I enter a random password my NAS rejects the connection because it expects no password. Again I cannot change the NAS to require a password.
Any suggestions on how I can backup to my NAS share without entering a password?

The other thing you could do is map a drive letter to the NAS and then just set that drive letter as the backup destination. That way Ghost wouldn't need to authenticate - Windows would do it for you.
