Hello All,

So, I'm trying to archive to tape, data that contains a ton of symlinks.
I have successfully been able to add symlinks for DIRECTORIES using the 
"/dirname/." paradigm. I.e.

FOR: /home/user/projects -> /data/projects/user/
FileSet {
  Name = "One_time_archive"
  Include {
      File = "/home/user/projects/."
  }
}
...the above worked.

===
HOWEVER, this does not work with a symlink'ed FILE. I.e.

FOR:/home/user/MyBashFile.sh -> /home/diff_user/HerBashFile.sh
Is there a way to tell Bareos to follow and back up the actual file (not just a 
symlink reference)?
Adding a dot to the directory path apparently does NOT recurse. So, when I 
tried...

Include {
      File = "/home/user/."
  }

...the above DID NOT work, and the symlink'ed file DID NOT get backed up (just 
the reference)

Thanks!
Mike
