Re: [BackupPC-users] Am I going about this wrong?

I'm archiving the BackupPC backup folder (/var/lib/BackupPC) folder to
external disk with rsync.
However, it looks like rsync is filling the links?
My total disk usage on the backup server is 407g, and the space used on
the external drive is up to 726g.
(using rsync -avh --delete --quiet /var/lib/BackupPC /usbmount/backuppc)
you want rsync -H
i've used rsync -qPHSa with some success. however, if you have lots of links, and not terribly much memory, rsync gobbles memory in proportion to how many hardlinks it's trying to match up. so, ironically, i use storebackup to make an offsite copy of my backuppc volume.
