Hi,

I installed a Backup server under Debian Etch.
When a client tries to backup files with a long path I receive this 
error message:

skipping overly long name: Documents and 
settings\\Amministratore\\Desktop/codice da
PC-6/sorgenti/sorgenti_codice_2.15.0_2006-04-04/codice_2.15.0-060404/codice_2.15.0-060404/codiceServerEJB/ejbModule/delfi/codice/archiviazione/EJSRemoteStatelessMasterizzazioneCtrSrvHome_771fb928.java

Documents and Settings\\Amministratore\\Desktop/
rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/Documents and 
Settings\Amministratore\Desktop" (in pc-5) failed: Invalid argument (22)
*** Skipping everything below this failed directory ***

sent 66340 bytes  received 22 bytes  574.56 bytes/sec
total size is 5531245572  speedup is 83349.59
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(791)

and it doesn't backup all "Document and Settings" directory !!!
I use NasBackup with cgwin to use rsync with windows and I use this 
command to run rsync :
rsync.exe -r -t -b --backup-dir=previous_version  --compress 
--exclude="*.bak"  --delete -v "/cygdrive/D/[Directory]" pc-5 at server::pc-5/

How can I fix it ?
Thank's in advance.
