   I know - but my filebase areas is a mess.

   As I posted earlier, it needs work (IMHO it is broken). I have no problem   
   supporting DOS in addition to Unix/Linux - in fact I welcome it. But as I   
   posted previously I think it needs work.   
      
   I've just compiled .12 (I make a DEB if anybody is interested), and I just   
   need to build my docker container, then I'll try out the updates in 12 (which   
   I know were focused on long file names). But (I only had a quick glance at   
   the source), I dont think it addresses the issue I'm seeing...

   I run MBSE on a PI (in docker) - and I use "restic" as my backup tool. With a   
   machine running S3 (minio), I can have a daily backup that is efficiently   
   stored (de-duped, compressed and encrypted - so it could be in the cloud   
   too). But I digress...
