Naming Files in Microsoft Windows Explorer
Windows Explorer has a limitation of 255 characters in a filename, including the path. When you make a persistent image, the
entire path and filename are stored in addition to the Dell ActiveArchives default path and persistent image name. The default
Dell ActiveArchives naming convention would result in a name such as the following:
Drive_Letter:\ActiveArchives\Snapshot 01-01-2001 12.00.00\Path_and_Filename
