   But maybe it was not the source path but the destination path which   
   is to long. This can happen if you copy the whole drive d:\*.*   
   to a backup directory  h:\backup_19_01_2015_16_17\*.*   
      
   First try a shorter destination path e.g. h:\1\*.*   
   or use SUBST to assign a drive letter to h:\backup_19_01_2015_16_17\   
   and copy to this drive.
