Hi there,
We map a Sun Microsystems (Solaris 9) drive to a Windows 2003 server.
This works fine except for the long UNIX (tm) filenames that are mapped
as truncated 8.3 filenames on the MS server. Needless to say for backup
purposes this defeats the object. I have scanned the archives but must
be looking in the wrong places because I am unable to find a solution to
this problem. Can anyone assist please ? It will be much appreciated.
