BackupPC 4.0 release notes, @ 
https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/BackupPC.html, state new-version changes 
include

"No use of hardlinks (except temporarily to do atomic renames). Reference 
counting is handled at the application level in a batch manner (hardlinks will 
still remain for any legacy V3 backups)."

In the default config.pl's rsync section, I still see

        $Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
                ...
                                '--hard-links',
                ...
        ];

&

        $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} = [
                ...
                                '--hard-links',
                ...
        ];

IIUC, rsync's hard-links usage refers to the source(s), whereas BackupPC's 
(ex)hard-links usage refers to links in the destination pool.

And the two have no relevance to / effect upon one another.

Is that correct?

I'd like make sure that the config doesn't need to be changed to avoid any 
surprises down the road ...
