Very interesting tip! :-)

The point is the File option don't indicate links specifically, but of
the following way:

FileSet {
  Name = "BackupStandar"
  Include {
    Options {
      signature = SHA1
    }
    File = /etc
    File = "\\|bash -c \"find /space/ -name backup -o -name log\""
  }
}

Where the client can have a /space/log and/or /space/backup and the
symlink can be in some subirectory of them. With this declaration of
File, how I could force backup of symlinks?
