Microsoft Office Outlook: PST Backup Utility Failed

S

survivor

I am setting up PST backup utility of Outlook to backup three of my local
PSTs to the network. I have pointed all of them to a mapped network drive at
exactly the same folder.

The 1st PST was successfully backed up, however, the other 2 PSTs are having
intermittent backup problems with this error:

+++
Cannot copy file or folder

Cannot copy <pst filename>.pst: The path is too deep.
+++

Does anyone encountered this problem? Is this a PST Backup Utility known
issue? How can I help this fixed?

I'd appreciate any assistance.

Thanks,

Backing up to network drives can cause problems, especially since .pst files
on network drives is unsupported.
