- We do our backups (daily incremental, weekly incremental and monthly full
- backups) using bru. However, ever since we made the backup host an
- AppleShare server (courtesy of a Webster MPG, CAP and a little patience :)
- we have been unable to backup some people's files due to an excessive
- pathname length (> 127 chars). IRIX 4.0.1 is currently being used.
-
- Question: why is the max pathname length so short??? Will it be fixed in
- a later release of bru/irix? Is there a workaround (apart from
- not writing out the full pathname)?

- Thanks for your replies,
