Is it possible to make amanda follow symlinks? I have a disk that has grown larger than the tape used and need a way to backup this disk without splitting it into different disks. I made a script that creates a few directories and populate these with symlinks to the large disk. Treating these directories as seperate disks should work if I could only get amanda to follow symlinks.
The faq has a mention about creating a wrapper around tar - amtar. But, if I understand correct, this will make amanda follow symlinks in all situations. What is needed is an option that will pass "--dereference" to tar. Any suggestions? Thanks, Kasper (Im running amanda 2.4.3b1)
