Previously I made a backup

wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\ftpback-rbxx-xxx.xxx.net\nsxxxxxxx.ip-xxx-xxx-xx.eu\C\20191210_071757 -allCritical -systemState -quiet

Trying to restore

wbadmin start systemstaterecovery -version:12/10/2019-15:18 -backupTarget:\\ftpback-rbxx-xxx.xxx.net\nsxxxxxxx.ip-xxx-xxx-xx.eu\C\20191210_071757 -quiet -autoReboot

I get the following error

The provided share path is longer than Windows Backup can support. The maximum network path supported is 110 characters.

I cannot short the network shared folder because is provided by third hosting. There is any solution?

To shorten the path I would create a dummy DNS entry, like d.com and make it resolve to ftpback-rbxx-xxx.xxx.net.

Your entry would look like;

wbadmin start systemstaterecovery -version:12/10/2019-15:18 -backupTarget:\\d.com\nsxxxxxxx.ip-xxx-xxx-xx.eu\C\20191210_071757 -quiet -autoReboot

Else I would copy the folder locally to use it from inside your LAN on another share with a shorter path inside it.

    Nice suggestion! Another way (I ended with this one) is to ping ftpback-rbxx-xxx.xxx.net and rename 20191210_071757 to "_" to use -backupTarget:\\1.2.3.4\nsxxxxxxx.ip-xxx-xxx-xx.eu\C\\_ – Sauron Dec 10 '19 at 17:56
