Cannot move file Error Code 82: The directory or file cannot be created. [MoveFileEx]

Rather than typing out these long paths, see the attached screenshot.

This was observed backing up a Thunderbird Portable (non-) installation folder on a system's SSD NTFS D: partition, to a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive as drive letter F:

The USB flash drive has no filesystem errors, was checked and passed and same FFS error comes up on this and multiple other T'Bird cache files, none of which exceed a 255 character path limit. This entire Thunderbird folder on the F: USB flash drive was deleted and tried to sync again with FFS from scratch but it still happens.

FFS backs up multiple things each time the USB flash drive is plugged in, besides the Thunderbird folder, but only has errors on files like these in the screenshot. Any ideas what is going on? Also I should mention this is FFS version 10.10.0.0, has a newer version patched whatever issue is going on here?

Thanks

The path isn't near 255 so that's not even a possible issue. Honestly, I wouldn't waste time troubleshooting this if only cache files have issues. There is no reason to back up cache files and they should be excluded from the sync anyway

I don't want to pick and choose individual files, have several folders and just want to back up the entirety of all of them.

There is good reason to back those up, what good is an offline copy of emails, if you delete the cache then it's no longer available online? I have email that's both business and personal and archive them *forever* before cleaning them out from the actively used T'Bird folder from time to time.

No offense intended but I see this a lot, forum topics where someone tries to tell someone else that they know better and to do something differently, instead of having the respect to just answer the question or not post if they don't know the answer.

I was not asking how you think I should manage my emails. This is a FFS forum and I only want to know about this error.
