To my knowledge there is no explicit way to tell rdiff-backup to follow a symbolic link. One theoretical solution I can think of is putting a layer of Samba in between the symbolic link and rdiff-backup. That way you can make rdiff-backup see the symbolic link as an actual file. No, the Samba solution really isn't one I recommend. On a more serious note, how about using a hard link instead? // Andreas
