Pathnames are currently limited to 255 characters. If you need to specify a longer pathname, you can use the alias resolving feature to access folders that are many levels deep.
System files, such as “VM Storage” and “Desktop DB” are ignored by SwitchBack.
Under System 6 or if temporary memory is not enabled, you should increase SwitchBack’s partition size in order to cope with large files. A smaller partition size will result in slower performance.
When backing up large disks with folders nested many levels deep, you may find “out of memory” or “heap collision” errors. When this occurs, SwitchBack has run out of room trying to keep track of all the folders. Simply increase the partition size if this is a problem.
