Re: [Bacula-users] Re - Restore failed - bacula-fd doesn't follow symbolic links

Hello,
2012/8/10 Davide Franco <dfranco AT dflc DOT ch>
Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out how can I enforce the file
daemon to follow symlinks on Linux filesystem.
Bacula does not follow any symbolic links. It just backups a symbolic link as a symbolic link no matter if it points to the file or directory. Automatically follow symbolic links threatens to uncontrolled looping. For example when someone (user) will make a simple command: $ ln -s . a
If you want to backup a resources which was followed by symbolic link you have to add this resources to the FileSet definition.
