Do you have such systems? I'm also wondering if that's a win32 restrictions imposed upon us, or if it's something in our client. I found the answer here: http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Current_State_Bacula.html "Path and filenames longer than 260 characters on Win32 systems are not supported. They will be backed up, but they cannot be restored. By using the Portable=yes directive in your FileSet, files with long names can be restored to Unix and Linux systems. Long filenames for Win32 will be implemented in a later version." later on the same page: "On Win32 machines filenames are limited by the non-Unicode Windows API that we use to 260 characters. This is planned to be corrected in a future version by switching to the Unicode API."
