Allow Backing up to UNC or Mapped network drive

When creating a backup, I'd like the ability to store the .BAK file in a folder on another PC, either via a UNC file share (\servername\sharename\mybackup.bak) or a mapped drive (g:\backups\mybackup.bak). Right now dbForge Studio only lets you back up to the local hard drive of the server.

You can amend the existing path and specify a mapped network drive right in the ‘Backup to disk’ list on the ‘General’ page of the Backup wizard.

    I've been doing this perfectly fine every day from within SQL Management Studio.
    Please have a look, and make dbForge catch up with the Microsoft tool in this regard!
