Hi, I notice that the default BackupPC config uses --recursive with rsync. According to rsync's manpage, this may cause it to miss hardlinks:
"If incremental recursion is active (see --recursive), rsync may transfer a missing hard-linked file before it finds that another link for that contents exists elsewhere in the hierarchy. This does not affect the accuracy of the transfer, just its efficiency. One way to avoid this is to disable incremental recursion using the --no-inc-recursive option." Is it safe to replace --recursive with --no-inc-recursive in the BackupPC config? Also, I'm wondering if direct restore to the client isn't possible with rsync? The introduction of the manual says "(with smb or tar)" which makes me wonder.
