Linux File System - Can we back up files with path names longer than 1024 bytes?

Yes. Files with path length greater than 1024 bytes are backed up by default. However, on upgraded clients, we can enable backup of files with path length longer than 1024 bytes using the following steps:

1. From the CommCell Browser, navigate to Client Computers.

2. Right-click the <Client> and click Properties.

3. Click Advanced and then click Additional Settings tab.

4. Click Add. 5. In the Name field, type sSupportLongPath.

The Category and Type fields are populated automatically.

6. In the Value field, type Y.

7. Click OK.

• · Hard link backups are not optimized if the path length is greater than 1024 bytes; they will be backed up as regular files.
• · It is recommended to run restores by job when restoring files with long path names.
