As the manual stated in the limitations section, due to a poorly designed API, Microsoft cannot correctly deal with file lengths greater than 260 characters. I suspect that you are running into this limitation. Subsequentely, rather than fix their broken API, Microsoft invented a new "wide" version of the API that uses 16 bit Unicode that does fix the path length problem (at least to 32K path lengths if I remember right). However, bacual still uses the original API, hence the limitation. > > > > > > > *************************************************************************** >******** Mail FROM London Borough of Harrow: > Unencrypted electronic mail is not secure and may not be authentic, in > whole or in part.
