The Preferred Shares are a collection of your favorite backup shares. (A share is a shared drive or directory.) You can manually add individual share points to the Preferred Shares tree; the share point is remembered and displayed regardless of the status of the network connection. This provides a quick access to commonly used shares on your machines. You can also setup preferred machines, which enables you to browse, backup, or restore all of the shared drives on a machine under a single machine.
This feature can be used to back up share points provided by other operating systems that are capable of creating shares in a network, such as UNIX NFS or OS/2 LAN Server shares.
This feature is also useful for users that frequently back up shares within a network, instead of machines. Shares are considered named short-cuts or aliases to machine drives and directories on the network. Shares perform the same function as drive mappings, with the advantage of allowing the user to provide a descriptive name to the share.
