Hello!
I have been searching alot and found several articles about the Backup Exec's maximum path limits
for BE 2010 and newer versions. I keep running into the 256 character -limit that is the known limit for NTFS -
file system. I know that Backup Exec is very capable of handling much longer file paths, but I have experienced
issues when trying to restore data from users network folder beyond 256 character path length. Some files gets
restored, but others do not. This happens very randomly and I haven't been able to reproduce the issue myself.
Still haven't found any absolute answer and/or reproducable sample paths that will not work properly wint BE 2010 restore.
Here is one quite similar to my problem: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/missing-files-dlo-backupexec-11d
-Are there any official limits for path limits? I also searched throug BE Best practises, but found no answer there either.
This is also one of the closest hit I found: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH208132
If anyone has similar experiences or can provide me some official BE path limits, I would be very grateful!
PS. We are running the BE 2010 DLO 343B17a so maybe this has been fixed in the newer versions?
Best Regards
Jukka
