Hi,
I notice that the default BackupPC config uses --recursive with rsync.
According to rsync's manpage, this may cause it to miss hardlinks:
"If incremental recursion is active (see --recursive), rsync may
transfer a missing hard-linked file before it finds that another link
for that content

Hi,
In reading the manual for parameters such as the tar, rsync, etc. share,
I see:
"Alternatively, rather than backup all the file systems as a single
share ("/"), it is easier to restore a single file system if you backup
each file system separately."
Can anyone tell me why this is easier?
