Package: backintime-gnome
Version: 0.9.26-3
Severity: normal
Backintime-gnome suggests not to backup backup-files (*~) by default. In
my config I backup everything.
All files whose names end with a tilde (~) that have been backed up are
not hardlinked to the previous version, even though most of them have
not changed. However the corresponding non-backup files (whose names do
not contain the final ~) are for the most part hardlinked "together".
Backup files that do not change should be hardlinked whatever their names.

I conducted the same tests as upstream (see the launchpad report) and we
both found backintime hardlinks files ending ~ if told to. I also changed a
backed-up file called sshblack~, and the changes showed up in other copies,
so the hard link must be present.
Are you backing up to a filesystem that supports hard linking?
