As a possible workaround, from the Windows CLI you can try to use subst to map a new drive letter into the middle of you longpath. ie. if you know you have long paths within "c:\documents and settings\administrator\documents" you should be able to do: subst x: "c:\documents and settings\administrator\documents" rdiff-backup x: And gain 40 or so chars.
