Windows File and Path Name Limitations
Windows restricts many file names (including the path) to 255 characters. When you
copy, mirror, or prepopulate data using the HP EFS RCU, make sure your path and file
names do not exceed 255 characters. For example:
c:\temp\rcu\rcu.exe /mirror d:\database remoteHost
d:\NYBackup\database
If a file in d:\database has a name with 250 characters, then this file cannot be restored
on the server because the server path name and the file name exceeds 255 characters.
The HP EFS RCU reports an error in this case.
