Using a UNC name permits you to restore specific shared files to a separate file space. This is useful if, for example, you or an administrator want to restore a portion of data that you would otherwise be unable to access.
Except for drives with removable media, every local drive letter is accessible using a local UNC name that includes the workstation name and a designation for the drive letter. For example, to enter a UNC name on drive c: for workstation ocean, enter:
\\ocean\c$
The $ sign must be included with the drive letter.
To enter a UNC name for workstation ocean and share point wave, enter:
\\ocean\wave
When accessing files, you do not need to enter the letter of the drive except for drives with removable media.
