they are different. In fact, the NTFS analogy I believe are joins which
are not the same as hard links since they can be done across filesystems
and since they can be done for directories. Though my memory could be
wrong.

Junction points are more similar to symbolic links, and hardlinks are
pretty much identical to *nix hardlinks.  I can't speak to whether or not
they work with BackupPC (I doubt it, since it would require a specific
Windows implementation) but I can't imagine using NTFS for the repository.
