I have 2 tape libraries.  The tape library with the NDMP tape drive is
connected via fiber using a SNC.

Do you have a suggestion on how determine what the maximum length path for
a object on my filer?

Thanks,

First, I would highly recommend upgrading from 6.4.3 to 6.4.3P9 or
greater. A number of bad bugs are out there. Also, they fixed a problem
with pass 1 of the dump taking a long time with 6.4.3P5 I think.

I don't know what the max depth is, but I think the max path including
file name is 1024 chars which I think is what you might be hitting.

We are running 6.4.3P11 and NW 7.1.1 with volume size > 1TB with backups
working great to a STKL180 over a fibre network.

How are your tape drives connected?
