ViceVersa log shows an error in taking backup of a file with name in Arabic letter. I am using Vice Versa PRO 2.5 Build 2501.There are many files with name in Arabic letter. But the problem is shown only by this file. The difference with other files is that the length of the file name is much greater than others. The file name is وكذا تنويع الأمثلة عن المفاهيم والمبادئ المطروحة وإتاحة الفرصة للطلاب للتعليق وإبداء الرأي من خلال الأمثلة الواقعية في بيئاتهم المحلية وخلفياتهم الثقافية.docx

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

The issue is most likely the name length rather than the Arabic characters, please see this article on how to activate support for long paths in ViceVersa PRO: http://www.tgrmn.com/web/kb/item31.htm

thanks

I am already using the \\?\ syntax which permits a maximum path length of approximately 32,000 characters. Profile log says ' The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.] [ERROR] '.

Thanks, for some reason it looks like it is failing renaming the temp file (a temp file is used while copying). Try switching off using temp files, the option is in profile settings -> advanced settings "Copy directly to destination file (do not use a temporary file)"

The option 'copy directly to destination file(do not use a temporary file)' was unchecked. I checked that option and after the scheduled run the profile log shows the following error

Now I am wondering if it is a problem with the target disk. Can you copy the file using Windows Explorer? Can you use ViceVersa and copy the file to a different destination for a test? thanks

The file was not able to be copied using windows explorer. It showed exactly the same error. The file could be copied to another location using viceversa.

The problem might be with the target disk. But what could stop it from being copied to it. All other files with name in Arabic letters are copied. Thanks

I think it could be a combination of the file names having Arabic characters + being a long path > 259 chars and the target disk not supporting that.
