Thanks for the info, I just installed this beta FD on my main Windows 2000 file
server. I have the same problem - long filenames stored in a VERY deep folder
structure (some 3% of all files). I thanked heaven every time a restore request
came by and it wasn't one of these files.
I've run 1.38.9 since May with success, and had no reason to upgrade anything,
until now. I'll run a Full backup of this server tonight, restore some files
tomorrow, and then report my results.

I'm not sure, but in any case you should convince your users to avoid such
situations since a lot of Windows tools break with long path/filenames.
If you *really* need to backup/restore such files, you might want to try to
load the 1.39.26 Windows BETA file daemon, which does handle long paths. It
*should* work with older Dir and Storage daemon. Good testing will be needed
to prove this theory though. If you try this, you will need to carefully
read the ReleaseNotes to understand how to install it as a lot of things have
changed.
