Universal Naming Convention names restore

Using a Universal Naming Convention (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.
