hi,
Right from the documentation:
For each complete, good, backup, BackupPC_link is run. To avoid race
conditions as new files are linked into the pool area, only a single
BackupPC_link program runs at a time and the rest are queued.
BackupPC_link reads the NewFileList written by BackupPC_dump and
inspects each new file in the backup. It re-checks if there is a
matching file in the pool (another BackupPC_link could have added the
file since BackupPC_dump checked). If so, the file is removed and
replaced by a hard link to the existing file. If the file is new, a hard
link to the file is made in the pool area, so that this file is
available for checking against each new file and new backup.
Then, for incremental backups, hard links are made in the new backup to
all files that were not extracted during the incremental backups. The
means the incremental dump looks like a complete image of the PC (with
the exception that files that were removed on the PC since the last full
dump will still appear in the backup directory tree).
