Is there any easy way to get around the file name length (illegal characters issues) of a Windows server?
In the office I was previously I had backed my files up to the Mac (OS X) server. At the start of this school year I moved to a Windows based office. Now when I attempt to back up my files I get a error message that I can not complete the back up due to file name length/illegal characters.
Short of going through all the files and changing file names is there any easy work around for this problem? I did STF but didn't find an answer to my problem. Any helpful suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks! Dave
