Hi,
Incremental backup of a linux machine using tar (i.e. only files newer
than...) is several times faster than using rsync. On the other hand,
full backup using tar transfers huge amount of data over network, way
more than the efficient rsync.
Is there a way to use rsync for full backup and tar

that could be because it is missing files that rsync catches.
Is it possible for backuppc to use symbolic or soft links instead of hard
links?
I found a seemingly great software "FlexRaid" which allows me to create a
software parity raid using various drives.However, it does not support
hard links, only soft!

Nope - hard links are the essence of BackupPC

No, it is the atomic nature of kernel hardlink handling that makes what
backuppc does possible.

I noticed the backup data appears to be stored in the pc directory. Does
that mean the hardlinks are in the pool directory and not in the pc
directory?
So would it be possible to store the pc directory in a different directory
(in my flexraid pool) but store the pool directory in a normal ext fi
