I can use \\?\ just fine in VV but if I try to add that profile to VVEngine for automated backups it fails with a 'Folder not accessible' error. Thanks in advance

I'd like to add that it fails to read the source folder. I can still use \\?\ for the target in VVEngine so;

\\?\nasdevice\users to \\?\F:\VisaVersa_Backup\nasdevice\users\ ~ FAILS

and

\\nasdevice\users to \\?\F:\VisaVersa_Backup\nasdevice\users\ ~ WORKS

The problem is if I use the option VVEngine seems to like it fails to backup anything deeper than 256 characters.

UPDATE:

It seems to like;

\\?\UNC\nasdevice\users to \\?\F:\viceversa_backup\nasdevice\users

Waiting for backup to complete and I will report back any issues.

UPDATE 2


Backup completed successfully, no skipped files due to the 256 character limit. I'm calling it done. Thanks for your time

Very Happy
