Long path names in VVengine

peerx · Joined: 13 May 2007 Posts: 2

Because of problems with long filenames I Used \\?\ and \\?\UNC\.
Well it works perfectly in Viceversa (vs 2014).
But in VVEngine (1.1) the backups and synchronisations will not work anymore: target file not found.
In VVEngine I started ViceVersa: it works.

What's wrong??
Thank you for your kind advice.

Hi! What scheduling options are you using for the profile in VVEngine? thanks

I have scheduled:
Run immediately as soon as source and target are accessible
and:

Run every day, start on 8-5-2007 03:00, only if file changes are detected in source(s)

In both cases: VVEngine says:
Status Details: Folder not accessible: \\?\D:
Or:
Folder not accessible: \\?\UNC\Server\Marjan (E)
These are source drives on the same computer where VVengine runs.
But these profiles work perfectly in ViceVersa, also installed on this computer.

Bye

Yes, this is confirmed, it needs to be fixed in VVEngine.
\\?\ and file change detection do not work in VVEngine 1.1
