I am getting an error when attempting to backup my module:

“Error during the backup step Prepare. The structure is too deep.”.  
Not sure how to resolve this error.

Hi Josh,

I believe that this is related to a Windows limit of 260 characters for a file path. Try backing up to another file location where the file path structure does not exceed this limit.
