Hi: I recently ran across a backup program called Bvckup2.

Bvckup 2 is mine, I wrote it. I was just googling for new mentions and came across this thread.

In case if you still need to solve this issue the root of it is that the length of a full path for these files exceeds 255 characters. This would happen if your destination (backup) folder was in some sub-sub-sub-folder, thus pushing the full file path over the limit. This is an odd limitation of Windows Explorer. For whatever reason it just can’t handle all paths that NTFS supports (and NTFS can support paths that are as long as 65K characters).

In any case, to remove these files you need to shorten their full path and the easiest way to do it is to move their folder to the root of the drive. Then delete moved folder. Then delete the rest of folders as needed. If you need further help, there’s a contact email on the website.

HTH,
Alex
