What you mean is probably not symbolic links but NTFS junctions,
which behave more like UNIX hard links. I believe none of the
current rsyncd versions will support junctions. The simple
solution so far has been to exclude junctions from backup:

Thanks Denis, but I actually mean symbolic links under NTFS create with
e.g "mklink [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] link target" se here:

Just excluding the links is not the best solution as I really want to
back them up, I have a few thousand of them so it's hard work to
re-create them manually in case of horror/disaster. If I could perhaps
somehow save the links in a file and then, in case of a needed restore,
I could issue a command using the file? I'm at the end of my knowledge
here...
Or will some other transfer method in BackupPC take care of things?
Kind regards
