  2. How to tackle the below error, when using “Export command for a folder tree”;
    The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

  4. Hi ,

    Can we import permission, We are performing NAS migration , the data is getting copied but the ACL’s are not getting propagated to the Target location
    e.g \\Fileserver1\share1 (source) to \\Storgaeshare\New_Share (Target)

    What rights are required for the user to execute the export and import activity on Source and Target.
