I cannot find the correct syntax to enable back-up of files with a long path.
I use generally the syntax:
Code:
D:\Folder\ <to> \\NAS\Folder\

to make back-ups to a NAS device

For long paths the Help tells me to add in front the text: "\\?\".
\\?\D:\Folder\ works allright, but \\?\NAS\Folder\ as well as \\?\\NAS\Folder\ are not accepted. What is the correct syntax?

Thank you very much: this works. I didn't understand the explanation in the Help.

Hi

the path of the folder is long that is why it is creating problem, long path tool can also be used to solve your problem.
