Folder Redirection Overview

Advantages of Using Folder Redirection

Folder redirection provides a number of advantages. Some of the following benefits relate to redirecting any folder, but redirecting My Documents can be particularly advantageous.

Even if a user logs on to various computers on the network, the users documents are always available.

The system administrator can use Group Policy to set disk quotas, limiting the amount of space taken up by users' special folders.

Data specific to a user can be redirected to a different hard disk on the user's local computer from the hard disk holding the operating system files. This protects the user's data if the operating system needs to be reinstalled.

Data stored on a shared network server can be backed up as part of routine system administration. This is safer and it requires no action on the part of the user.
