Hello Wayne!
Any plans to implement the feature in rsync 3.0 to copy the link and the
linked item to make backups perfect?
Thnx.
Ciao,
Gerhard

So turns out that I want a "feature request" which copies the link itself
(file or directory) and the linked file/directory itself. So then I have a
"perfect" backup (the link is not valid when it is absolute but it works
well on restore). Currently I only have the symbolic link of the
file/directory but not the contents itself (which is useless on restore
because I don't have the data).
When the feature with copying the link itself and the contents would be
implemented I have a "perfect" copy. When I copy the files backup on disaster
recovery the links work well again. (after replacing the OS).
Do you plan to implement this feature request?
Thank you for the answer.

Gerhard
