Hello Rsync List,
I have a directory that I am running an incremental sync (version 3.026)

about 43 million symbolic links. I am using the flag to process links
only and had been seeing about 1.5 million links processed in a 12

How can I backup:

This should also apply for directory symbolic links.

Your problem is that the trailing "dir" in the source is the base of the

I'm trying to synchronize a particularly troublesome directory structure on a SunOS

I'm sorry, I completely glossed over the -u and -b in your original

Personally I don't see why see why replacing a file with a symbolic
link is any more dangerous than replacing it with a different file.
Doesn't it back up the file if you use the --backup option? If you use
the --update option rsync shouldn't replace any file or symlink that is
newer than the eith
I don't see any option that works. My problem is not
how it copies the links; it is that rsync will delete
a regular file and replace it with the symlink when
the file is newer than the symlink. The file is
always erased with no backup. This seems wrong.
Basically I use rysnc to keep files on

This tells rsync to recreate symbolic links on the
