Brian We are looking into re-doing the way ADSM handles symbolic links. I agree that it definitely needs changes. Currently we are looking into making ADSM consistent with the way it backs up symboli

I don't know much about symbolic links but have been required to use them in our web-based ADSM registration and client distribution system. The link points from the web page directory to the FTP dir
We've got a perl script to do the same. I sort of like the following though if you're using the GNU version of tar: % cd dirname ; find . -type l -print -exec rm {} \; > /tmp/link.list ; \ gnutar cvf
