Backup in a network

A network is, in the most general sense, everything that connects computers. It can be used for backups in various ways, such as backup to a shared drive on a workstation, backup of the office server or backup to a stand-alone storage solution in a network (network attached storage – NAS).

Z-DBackup must be able to maintain a network connection on its own independently of the current user and therefore uses UNC paths instead of drive letters. UNC is short for universal naming convention  and is a standard system for naming network drives. With a UNC path, any ressource in a network can be accessed directly without a drive letter mapping.
 

UNC network pool

Equivalently to the USP pool, several UNC drives can be pooled in a network pool. If a pool is selected as the target, the backup is copied to the first available network drive in this pool.
