2.4.10 Path component
The path component enables any directory tree to be backed up, loaded and
compared via ADDM. The only condition is that the source and target drives are
linked with the ADDM computer.
• Assign a "name” (max. of 32 characters) to the zip archive to be backed
up.
• Describe the contents to be backed up in more detail in the "Remarks”
field.
• In the area "Backup path/file” the share a pc name can be given in
manually (UNC path). With this UNC path a logical drive connection is not
any more necessary. The access to the defined pc or path is sometimes
only for certain users allowed in the network. In this case an allowed user
can be assigned.
• With "Back up single file", a single file can be backed up in a directory.
The path desired for the loading procedure is stored in ADDM with the Use
backup path when loading option. Without this option, you must navigate to
the desired target directory when loading.
