Windows 10 Backup

Hi,

I have recently checked my file history backup log and a large amount of my photos are not being backed up due the way they were named. There are hundred of photos like this as my digital camera has named them like this. 

This is the error of one of the files:

File was not backed up due to its full path exceeding MAX_PATH limit or containing unsupported characters:

C:\Users\Pictures\IMG_9414.jpg

If you want it to be protected, try using different directory and file names.

Is there an easy way to fix this issue?

Thanks for the help.

Ian

Alright thanks.

I have it working now.

The error was in the folder name. For some reason the folder name had some strange characters in it which I removed and I do not have any errors in the log.

BR,

Ian
