Mozy for Mac connects to network drives directly through the native file system, the Finder. Mozy does not need a separate connection to a network drive to access files from it. However, Mozy cannot cause the Finder to mount or connect a network drive if it is not connected and Mac OS X doesn’t mount network drives on boot or startup by default.

In order for Mozy to always have access to backup the network drive you should add the network drive to your user’s Login Items.

To add the network drive to the User's login:

1. Mount (connect to) the network drive in the Finder.
   1. Select Finder, then from the menu bar select GO.
   2. Select Connect to Server...
   3. Enter the location of the network drive. 
   4. Once the drive is mounted it will appear on the desktop.

Note: If the network drive is on a Windows PC then the path will start smb://

2. Open System Preferences.
3. Open the Accounts preferences.
4. Click on your user in the left.
5. Click on the Login Items tab in the right.
6. Drag and drop the network drive from the Finder into the list of Login Items OR click the + and choose the network drive and click OK.
