    stsadmin backup file name length

    Hello,

    I have a nightly job running which grab all new top lee sites and back them up by using stsadm command.

    One top level site backp failed with the error:

    Write error on file "_87_emergencycontacts.bak".

    Here is the command:

    stsadm -o backup -url "http://hacssws001:87/sites/emergencycontacts" -filename _87_sites_emergencycontacts.bak -overwrite

    But when I changed file name to "sites_emergencycont.bak", it succeed.

     

    What is the file name length constraint, I couldn't find anywhere.
