If anyone has some guess where I can look for this problem I would appreciate some help.
Examining the Xferlog I see that the rsync definately saw the /bin/sh symlink during the transfer. create l 777 0/0 4 bin/sh -> bash But once the backup is complete there is no symlink listed via the GUI interface. And if I restore the whole directory from its parent, the symlink does not get restored. I think the rsync transfer is ok but one of the backuppc binaries is having some problem and removing some symlinks, but not all.
