  3. floggy, I am using http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/role-manager/ too. I cannot see such a file within the plugin's directory and I am quite sure it should not be there. What does this .txt file do? Have you had a look at its contents?

    It was the old rolemanager. I deleted that directory, and installed version 2.0.9. Now it works.
    But this might be an issue with other long filenames?

  5. floggy, thanks for feedback and solution! I've done some tests with long file names. Usually it is limited only by the operating system which tar is running on. Some configurations and version of tar limit filename length to 100 characters though.

    It depends on the system of the webserver, where most WordPress and BackUpWordPress users do not have the permissions to change any of these configuration settings. But it is very unusual for any web content to include files with filenames longer than 100 characters.
