Hi everyone,

This is a last resort I've searched through all your achieves,
searched on the web, looked through your docs and faqs but not found a
satisfactory answer.

The scenario is: Ubuntu machine running rsnapshot ssh's into remote
machine running cygwin 2.6.9 on windows 2003 and uses rsync to backup
the files. The error I get is:

cannot send long-named file
"/cygdrive/d/Shares/Public/Software/Navision Backup/GB Nav
4.0.SP3/Disk1/Additional Interfaces/BusinessNotificationServer/program
files/Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision/Business
Notification/Templates/en-GB/Template - Production BOM version - Items
updat"

Reading up is it to do with a limitation of windows being 255 maximum
character set is there any way round this?

Many thanks
