Sorry, but Bacula does not follow symbolic links, and it probably never will. 
There are just too many security problems, and worse, following symlinks is 
essentially guaranteed to put it into a recursive situation.

I *could* imagine an Option directive that says follow *one* symlink if it is 
specified at the top level, but that would need a patch to be submitted.

Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
