- I just received several errors during a backup by name of my system stating
- the filenames are too long. The files in question have a filename length
- of about 80 characters so it is above the SYSV limit, but well below the BSD
- length of 240.
-
- Is this a feature or bug? I would assume that since AIX supports the BSD
- filestructure, the backup command would be able to back up the files.
