You can define one or more mount paths to local or remote computers for Windows and UNIX file systems. You cannot define mount paths to a disc drive, for example, CD-ROM drive, or a locally mapped network drive.
If the mount path directory does not exist, it is automatically created when you add the mount path.
If you have defined multiple mount paths for a disk library, the system determines the specific path to which data secured by a data protection operation is written.
Important
-
Do not use administrative shares to create mount paths for disk libraries.
-
If your existing setup is configured to use an administrative share, remove the share, and reconfigure the path as described in Reconfiguring Mount Paths that Use Administrative Share.
