Hi Christian, 

Read IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V6.1 Linux Backup-Archive Client Known Problems 
and Limitations

"Path names longer than 1024 bytes 
Although Linux system supports files and directories with path plus file name 
length up to 4096 bytes, the TSM Client currently limits the length of filename 
and pathname: maximum filename to 256 and maximum pathname to 1023 bytes 
correspondingly, and an error message is displayed on the console when this 
length exceeds that limit. This will be fixed in a future release."

Note that one byte isnt one characters with unicode...

Subject: [ADSM-L] Maximum limit of a filename

Hi all,
Has anyone any ideas what the maximum limit of characters is per filename that 
TSM BA Client 5.5.x and 6.1.x can backup in Linux (x86)?
I think I heard a number of 1024 characters but that is not enough in my case. 
:(

Best Regards
Christian Svensson
