The files will not be transferred but they will be stored separately
as new versions of the file even if the content is the same.
Permissions are per inode not directory entry so you can't have old
and new permissions without breaking the hard link relationship.
The easiest solution is to just do the same chmod on the most recent
backup before running the next backup.
