Does BackupPC know how to treat NTFS junction points.
They are analogous to *nix symbolic links but only work on
directories.

Based on a little test, it seems like BackupPC does not know about
them since it seems to have copied over all the data -- i.e. it
treated the junction as a real directory rather than as a
symbolic-type link. The attribute file also seems to treat it like a
normal directory. Now to be fair, rsync does the same, so some of this
may be an rsync artifact.

Also, my understanding is that Vista introduced a notion of Unix-like
symbolic links. Does anyone know whether they are treated properly by
BackupPC? 
(I don't have Vista around to test but it would even be interesting to
know how rsync treats them).

Thanks
