In your Windows operating system, open the command line. As an example, you want to create a junction in the below directory (E:\ drive) and target location (\\hostname\backup\Software\SAP).
E:\>mklink /D ITsiti "\\hostname\backup\Software\SAP"
symbolic link created for ITsiti <<===>> \\hostname\backup\Software\SAP
You will get the notification of “symbolic link created for …” which means it is successfully created.
For confirmation, you can go to the E: drive directory and you will see the ITsiti folder created with the shortcut icon. The type should be File Folder.
