Hi,
Is there a way to backup some directories explicitly included in Configuration/Filters/Include...,
even if those directories contain symbolic links? (Windows).
Here’s my case:
I have a directory (C:\Mount
) containing a fixed set of symbolic links to all of my storage devices that I need to access and backup (C:\ Mount\SATA1\
, C:\Mount\RAID1\
etc). Not all of these devices are associated with drive letters, so I only access them through these symbolic links.
I want to make a backup copy of data accessed from C:\Mount
, but I want to avoid circular references in other symlinks in the directory tree. So I:
- left the
symlink-policy
setting to=Save
or=Ignore
and - explicitly included all directories required for backup (
+C:\Mount\ SATA1\
,+C:\Mount\RAID1\
etc) in the Configuration/Filters set.
But I see that symlink-policy=Save
or symlink-policy=Ignore
take precedence over Configuration/Filters
and those filters (+C:\Mount\ SATA1\
, +C:\Mount\RAID1\
) don’t work.
Is there a way to solve this problem? Thank you in advance.
