When you configure the software, you link a folder to a Job. For example, you might link C:\Marketing\Travel to a Job named Travel. In addition to the normal access to the data on the replicated folder, the software provides access via its "Drive." For example, if the drive is G: and the server name is WAFSVAULT, an alternate access to the same physical data is via G:\WAFSVAULT\Travel.
Sharing Data via Network-Share
You can share any folder, whether it is inside the Job (e.g., C:\Marketing\Travel\US) or above it (e.g., C:\Marketing).
Most users who use network shares to enable users to access the data, share the actual data being mirrored. However, sometimes IT managers prefer to share the data via its drive access, rather than the actual data. If you map the Job to a network drive, the data is not available when the Agent is stopped or disconnected from the Vault. If files are modified and there are conflicts, the conflicts must be addressed manually.
