Can't backup a file

Topic: Can't backup a file
Poster: Jerold Stamp

I have memoQ 6.8.57 installed. I'm still learning the program. I need to back up a file locally to transfer it to the cloud.
I get the message below. I tried shortening the name and directory to just a few words or so, and I still get the message.
Please advise!

TYPE:
System.IO.PathTooLongException

MESSAGE:
The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
