This is most likely caused by the FAT filesystem on the target device. Just like a lot of other errors, probably. Symlinks do not exist on a regular FAT. Copying data from a unix/linux-ish filesystem to a FAT-based filesystem is impossible without losing something (special files like symlinks, sockets, devices etc., file ownership info and more). Maybe there are some modern FAT variations capable of storing all this linux-specific data (thinking of umsdos), but I dare doubt that's the case of your backup drive. If you're thinking of maybe recovering some important system files from this backup sometime, change the backup drive's filesystem to something more capable (the aforementioned ext2, for instance). -rz -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
