We are looking to upgrade from 7016 to the latest version, before doing so we always backup the entire SupportCenter folder as a just in case. This time when we tried to do this we received a large number of warnings regarding file paths (examples below). Most of them seem to be in the <Drive letter>:\AdventNet\ME\SupportCenter\Patch\
It seems you are using very large file and folder names under this directory and it is rendering them unusable to Windows.


D:\AdventNet\ME\SupportCenter\Patch\AdventNet_ManageEngine_SupportCenter_Plus-7.0.0-SP-1.6.0\SUPPORTCENTER\applications\AdventNetSupportCenter.eear\AdventNetServiceDeskWC.ear\AdventNetServiceDesk.war\WEB-INF\classes\resources

D:\AdventNet\ME\SupportCenter\Patch\AdventNet_ManageEngine_SupportCenter_Plus-7.0.0-SP-1.4.0\SUPPORTCENTER\applications\AdventNetServerContainer.eear\AdventNetCoreContainer.ear\AdventNetMetaDataInfo.jar\META-INF

Is this patch folder important or simply a backup of previous patches?
If we were to restore the old version and this folder was missing would it cause issues?
