Specifying separate UNC path for Exchange Archive Mailbox Database

Hi All,

In Exchange Server 2013 SP1, is it possible to specify UNC path to a separate hardware appliance ?

In this case I'd like to create the Archive mailbox database on the CIFS share hosted by EMC Data Domain to perform the hardware based data deduplication & compression.

Does this path must also be accessible on the DAG passive node in DR data center ?
