Obnam should either give an error -if the backup root is a symlink, or back it up as a symlink, not -recurse into the directory and then backup that and only then ruin -everything by backing up the symlink as a symlink. - ---- - -This should now be fixed to give an error message when you backup. -I can't currently give access to the hidden files easily, I'm afraid, -but if you change your backup root to be the directory pointed at by -the symlink, and run a backup, it should go fairly fast and give you -access to your files. - -Later, I may consider allowing the root to be a symlink to a -directory, but that'll require bigger changes than this error message, -I'm afraid. Patches to implement this would be welcome. - -[[done]] --liw |
