Create a virtual folder with no physical location. In this case, the virtual folder simply represents a collection of physical folders and files located on one or more local or remote file systems. Such folders are identified by a white rectangle in the virtual folder list.
Important: | You cannot add a virtual folder beneath a virtual folder that is associated with a remote physical location. |
