We investigate solutions of type II supergravity which have the product R-1,R-3 x M-6 structure with non-compact M6 factor and which preserve at least four supersymmetries. In particular, we consider various conifolds and the N = 1 supersymmetric 'NS5-brane wrapped on a 2-sphere' solution recently discussed in hep-th/0008001. In all of these cases, we explicitly construct the complex structures, and the Kahler and parallel (3, 0)-forms of the corresponding M-6. In addition, we verify that the above solutions preserve, respectively, eight and four supersymmetries of the underlying type II theory. We also demonstrate that the ordinary and fractional D3-brane (5-brane wrapped on a 2cycle) solutions on singular, resolved and deformed conifolds, and the (S-dual of) NS5-brane wrapped on 2-sphere can be obtained as special cases from a universal ansatz for the supergravity fields, i.e. from a single one-dimensional action governing their radial evolution. We show that like the 3-branes on conifolds, the NS5-brane on a 2-sphere background can be found as a solution of a first-order system following from a superpotential.
