Cobian Reflector • Path exceeds 260 characters

$
0
0
In my backup task I set a source path like

\\serverName\d$\dirName

and as destination I defined the local

d:\

The dirName contains paths (d:\dirName\...\fileName.ext) which have nearly 248 bytes so that they are allowed for Windows. Cobian Reflector tries to copy such files to the destionation path

d:\serverName\d$\dirName

which leads to the error

"Could not copy the NTFS permissions from the source "\\serverName\d$\...\filename.ext": The specified path and/or file name is too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters and the path name must be less than 248 characters.

How can I reduce the destination path length, e.g. to d:\dirName. I already tried to use Zip archive but it wouldn't work. 7Zip fails completely and Zip can not handle the 12TB I want to backup.
