I tried searching the archives before posting this question, but I wasn't able 
to locate anything.  If
this is a duplicate question, I apologize in advance.

I have a backup schedule utilizing rsync to create hard links on an ext3 
filesystem.  This saves a
great amount of space locally.  However, when backing up to the main server via 
the NetWorker
client, all of the hard links are copied in full.  The redundancy is killing 
the backup time since I'm
tranferring approximately 90% more data than necessary.

Does NetWorker support hard links?  Is there an option I may be missing to turn 
this feature on?

Thanks!
