Anyone seen this error message before when backing up from within NAV? We get it quite a bit on different databases...

(DM) The value of one of the name length arguments was less than 0 but not equal to SQL_NTS.

The value of one of the name length arguments exceeded the maximum length value for the corresponding name.

Ok... But what does this actually mean and how do I resolve it?!

Do you know which object is throwing error? If so then you can import it as text and see if the problem occurs again.

So is it likely to be related to an object rather than data say within a table?
