Use of / vs \ to map a network drive

Noticed that using //drive/folder vs \\drive\folder to map a network drive doesn't seem to work when using SSR 2011 to recover a backup.

Could someone vaerify this for me?

Thanks

The UNC path i.e. \\computer_name\share_name or \\IP_address\share_name should work.

Thanks, VJware, but the issue is with the use of the  backslash (\) vs the forward slash (/) in the UNC path.

The forward slash (/) doesn't seem to work..

UNC requires the use of back-slash and not a forward slash. This is expected behavior.
