In order to work with Networker 7.6 i configured a Directory (DISK) as backup device,
Above screen shot show the step need to configure a file device. more important after configuring a device you must LABEL a Volume. then only you can run backups esle you will get error .
you can see my folder as device :
name: "c:\\media";
