Thanks to all for the replies. I've read all the backuppc docs and realized
that hard links were an integral part of the design so I thought the answer to
my question would be "no" but thought I'd ask. Since the principle reason for
using hardlinks in backuppc is to use space more efficently, I was hoping that
there was some hack (e.g., setting HardLinkMax to 1) that would work but use
more disk space.
There is no h/w interface into the NAS other than two 1GB network links (no
iSCSI) and I don't think (I've got a call into the tech support to confirm)
that it supports NFS. The only way that I know of mounting the device is via
samba/cifs. Since both samba & cifs support hard links it might be the device
does too with some undocumented setting, we'll see what tech support has to say.
In the meantime, I'm taking Dan's suggestion of a loopback fs.
