• Locate the Snap Server backup and restore path —
Backup servers often request
the path for backup and restore operations on the Snap Server. When you
configure a backup server to see the agent or client running on the Snap Server,
use the following path:
/shares/sharename
where
sharename
is the name of the share to be backed up. If you have accepted
the default Snap Server configuration, the correct path is as follows:
/shares/SHARE1
