------- Comment #3 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-09-04 11:21 MST -------
Hardlinking and then modifying the existing file in the --link-dest directory
is absolutely the wrong thing to do IMNSHO, this will break many "incremental"
backup strategies such as dirvish. (Dirvish at this time does not use
--inplace,
although I was just testing that out over the last couple of days... I guess I
can throw those backups away now :-( )
The manpage says:
--link-dest=DIR hardlink to files in DIR when unchanged
However, in these cases, the file _is_ changed, so hardlinking is the wrong
thing to do.
