Also, many NAS devices have an NFS server as well. Since many distros 
come with autofs and auto-mounting of NFS shares pre-configured, the 
mounting step is not needed and all that need be done is to include the 
correct path in the job. For example, in Centos it would be something 
like '/net/nas_ip_address/share_name'. Autofs can be configured for CIFS 
as well, but usually isn't by default. Otherwise, RunBeforeJob and 
RunAfterJob scripts can do the mounting and unmounting.
