How are you backing the junction points up. AFAIK backuppc treats
those as actual directories and not junction points (i.e. the concept
of a junction point doesn't exist in backuppc's universe like a
symbolic link does.) Pooling will make sure that the files under the
junction point and the real location of those files are pooled
together so you won't take twice as much disk space.
