# Sharing Options

### Main Back-Office

On the Main Back-office PC, the **MaitreD** folder, located in **C:\POSERA\MaitreD**, needs to be shared for all workstations to see. All workstations need **Full Control** over that shared folder, as files will be read, written, modified, deleted, and executed.&#x20;

If Windows 7 is in use, please see the Advanced Sharing options section above.

### Backup Serve

On the backup server, the **MaitreD** folder, located in **C:\POSERA\MaitreD**, is not shared. However, it will automatically become shared if the backup server needs to take over from a failed main back-office. Therefore, the user which is logged on to Windows on that PC needs to have enough access to be able to change sharing settings. The application that will change the sharing is bosrv.exe.
