We usually have the user shorten the path. If that isn't possible, 
you can create a share point deeper into the directory structure 
and back it from there.

Subject: backup issue caused by windows limitation


Hi All

We are experiencing problems because of windows limitation.  In a
nutshell a file that has a full path longer that 256 characters cannot
be backed up / restored.  We have found this a problem with other
programs such as robocopy.

Has anyone out there found a work around for this.. I know this is a
long shot but thought I'd ask anyway..

Many Thanks

Chris
