## Are UNC paths supported for quarantine and backup folders?

ScanMail supports the usage of Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths when configuring the quarantine and backup folders (for example, `\\fileserver\directory`).
To configure a UNC quarantine or backup folder:

1. Create the necessary folder on a remote endpoint that is in the same domain as the Exchange servers.
2. Ensure that the computer accounts for the Exchange servers have read/write permissions for the UNC path.

| ##### Important UNC paths are not supported on Exchange Edge servers. UNC paths cannot contain blank spaces. For clustered environments, computer accounts can only select cluster nodes, not virtual server names.
