Thanks Craig and Stephen for taking the
time to dive into this, and excuse for my late reply (have been
out of town, could not access the backupserver).
My tar version is 1.22 (2009) as far as I could test, it supports file and link-names longer than 100 characters. It's part of ubuntu server 11.04. Although the Dropbox directory generates errors, which suggests characterset-problems, some regular native ext4 directories (with longer directory/file names) also produce errors. I have the impression it is not an characterset problem. For some reason I CAN make incremental backups (which do report errors on the long directory names). But the process does not crash. One detail which may be important. I use an external USB disk (2GB), mounted on /home/backuppc. I have linked /var/lib/backuppc -> /home/backuppc. My last full backup is of januari 2013, without any errors. The directory structure has not changed significantly (the directories producing errors now did exist at that time, but were fully accessible, no size-limits present). The system design has not changed since then, neither have the system been updated. Is there a way to increase the debug reporting level to get more clues?
