Windows 10: How to overcome 'destination path too long' without changing folder names?

Hi.

I am trying to do a backup of a software. I have over 3000 files with a 'destination path too long' problem.

I cannot change the name because software will stop working properly.

The software came on an external usb drive and takes up to 700GB of hardware space.

Already have Win32 long paths enabled on my Windows 10.

Is there any software that will enable me to copy all the data safely?

Thank you

:)

 

Destination path too long after enable NTFS long path

I have windows pro 10 education and 1903 version. I enable NFTS long path and update the group policy with this command:

Code:

[b]gpupdate /target:computer /force[/b]
But when I copy-paste folders to an external drive I still get the error [b]
Destination path too long The file name(s) would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location that has a shorter path.[/b]

Thanks in advance.

 

Long Path Setting not working

Seems Enabling Win32 long path to overcome the 260 character restriction has not yet resolved the issue. I have enabled Win32 long path under group policy editor--> Filesystem and also the reg key D word setting but continue to receive error " The file
name would be too ling for the destination folder....."

Hi my name is Jay, I'm an independent advisor. I'd be happy to help with your issue.

I understand that Long Paths is already enabled in Local Group Policy, can you also do it in the registry as suggested in this article?
