Mapping a network drive lets you access files elsewhere on the network as though they were on your own machine.

The following instructions enable the back-up of files on your PC by making copies of them on METZ. It acts by adding a short cut to a drive on a computer somewhere else on the network.

Mapping a metz drive on your local machine allows you to simply 'drag and click' files to and from your metz account.

Procedures:

• Right-click on My Computer .
• Select Map Network Drive .
• 
• Select an empty drive letter for metz.
• Click in the Folder field
• Insert the following: \\metz.une.edu.au\username (where username is your own metz usename)
• 
• Click "Connect using a different user name".
• You will be prompted for your metz password .
• Enter your password and click OK.
• If you tick "Reconnect at logon" this will reestablish connection at logon.
• Click on "Finish"
• You will then be prompted for you UNE username and password again.
• An icon will appear in My Computer representing you Metz account.
• Drag files or folders into your metz folder to make backup copies
• Response times will be a little slower than normal as you are working across the network 
• DO NOT delete any files already on metz eg. .login, login.csh etc

To access metz again:

• Double click on My Computer
• Double click on the drive letter you mapped metz to (N: in this example).
• You should be able to see all the files saved into your metz account.
