Information:

UNC is short for Universal Naming Convention, a Windows format for specifying the location of resources on a local-area network (LAN). UNC uses the following format:

\\server-name\shared-resource-pathname

The shared resource pathname can be a single name, or a longer directory path. It can mount at any point on a logical drive (not necessarily at the root of the drive).
