I now have all my backups using 8.3 name format.  Don't know how it
happened but I do know when, last Friday when we were messing around
trying to get a restore to work.  We changed some things on the target
but I don't remember what exactly.  We reconfigured a new target last
night but the backups still showed truncated names for both files and
directories.

What the heck did I do?!  This is a serious problem for me as I can't
recover the data correctly amymore.
