DeltaCopy uses rsync and cygwin in the background. Therefore, any limitation that is present in either binaries will be there in DeltaCopy. For example, the default version of cygwin is not UNICODE compliant. Therefore, you cannot copy files with DeltaCopy containing UNICODE characters in the file name. Besides, file paths greater than 255 characters are also not recognized. If you prefer, download a UNICODE enabled cygwin DLL from http://www.okisoft.co.jp/esc/utf8-cygwin/ and see if it works for you. We have not tested this version of the DLL with DeltaCopy though.
