Hello,

I bought a Buffallo Router WZR-HP-G300-NH with NAS, and I am able to mount the NAS with the "Connect to Server" drop down menu in Nautilus as a "Windows Share". All good so far. The eventual idea is that I would like to write my backups to this NAS drive. I can't find this drive in /mnt or /media. Not sure where to look. Because I can't find it in anything other than Nautilus, I can't direct a backup or sync to a location I can't find. If I can solve this problem, the next thing I will need to do is figure out how to automount on startup.

I am using several Ubuntu based Gnome distributions of various ages, oldest about 10.4, all behave the same (one Zorin, another Mint, another Ubuntu, 3 kids, no viruses!!!).

Any help "finding" the NAS in a way I can direct a backup program to would be especially appreciated.

You need to mount the SMB share via fstab if you want it to connect at startup and be visible to standard tools/applications.

Check out this guide for the general steps required to get connected.
