There is a problem with such deep folders. That is that backup will not dependable back up a folder and those within it if the path to the folders approaches or exceeds 255 letters. This includes all the way from the Drive letter to the last name of files and folders. If there are long name folders or files it could really put a damper on the dependabiltiy of your backup. shubert Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
