Hello,
I currently have a problem about rsync and long file name
limit in RSYNC. I used rsync+ssh for backup remote windows server. The
problem that I would like to know if you have new version or a path
avaible to solve this problem about the max length 260 characters.
For this error :building file list ... skipping overly long name:
I found since the rsync version 2.6.7 you have increase the buffer size
for solve some problems with cygwin. Also I have installed the last
version of cynwin and replace for the last version of cwrsync 2.6.9 and
I have the same problem again.
Cut for rsync 2.6.7 news
- Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
I found your answer on malling list :

So did you have a solution for that
As the posting above that you referenced indicates, there is no solution for
this that will work with Win9x/Me versions of Windows. There is the solution
mentioned for other Windows versions but it's quite some work to make this
happen. Since Cygwin is dropping support for Win9x/Me versions, it's now
more reasonable to solve this problem but <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI>.
