Hello

I'm using BackupPC to backup a windows Vista computer. I use some NTFS symbolic links on it and it seems that BackupPC is transferring the file to which the link is pointing to, rather than just transferring the link. With this behaviour I'm backing up some files twice. What I need is BackupPC to just transfer the link.

I guess this is a breeze when it comes to UNIX/Linux clients, but is it possible on Windows clients as well?

I'm using rsyncd as transfer method. BackupPC is running on an Ubuntu server.

Any help on this would be appreciated, thanks.

Kind regards
/Erik

PS Happy new year to all! DS
