Yesterday I deployed a simple backup based on rdiff-backup on a Windows server machine and our customer had a lot filenames/paths exceeding 250 chars. Every new customer we acquire is having this issue, so my question is, how do you take care of these situations? (there are way too many files to take care of them manually)

Use another backup solution. rdiff-backup got its last update in 2009. Also their website clearly states

Many users seem to use rdiff-backup on MS Windows but this configuration is less well tested.

That's not what you want.
