I did some research on what options exist for configuring BU with a Celerra.
http://support.veritas.com/docs/284987 (requires a paid feature of BU)
How to perform a backup of NDMP Filers (NAS) with the Symantec Backup Exec 11d for Windows Servers Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) Option.
“The Symantec Backup Exec 11d for Windows Servers NDMP Option lets Backup Exec use the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) to initialize and control backups and restores of Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices such as NetApp filers as explained below”
I also found this article on Symantec’s site, which seems to explain a work around (although I’m not clear on how to get the mapped drive set up, because a network mapped drive requires a logged on user, so you would probably have to map the drives on the BU server):
http://support.veritas.com/docs/312057
“The backup of User Shares selection is specifically designed for Servers\Devices for which Backup Exec does not have an agent. For example SNAP Servers or NAS (Network Attached Storage) Boxes with an operating system that emulates Windows and a Remote Agent cannot be installed on”
I also found this on “Experts-Exchange”:
