The autogenerated collection name is too long.
Tested with the included solnlib_demo app.
The autogenerated collection is
solnlib_demo_solnlib_demo_collector_test_SolnDemoCollectorCheckpoint
If you try to backup the collection:
splunk backup kvstore -archiveName solnlib_demo_solnlib_demo_collector_test_SolnDemoCollectorCheckpoint -collectionName solnlib_demo_solnlib_demo_collector_test_SolnDemoCollectorCheckpoint -appName solnlib_demo -auth admin:XXXXXX
you get error messages in splunkd.log:
"larger than MAX_PATH"

I've checked in locally and I do not have this issue on MacOS. It looks like not a solnlib issue and more like MAX_PATH issue in Windows.
@zszia can you please try something with smaller archiveName, like
splunk backup kvstore -archiveName SolnDemoCollectorCheckpoint -collectionName solnlib_demo_solnlib_demo_collector_test_SolnDemoCollectorCheckpoint -appName solnlib_demo -auth admin:XXXXXX

I tested under Linux and could not reproduce the error. So it's a windows issue with the archiveName.
I'm always using the same name for the archive as the collection name, but will change it for my windows system.
