I saw today the rdiff-backup command... I wanted to know: I see in the man page the --no-hard-links option: "don't replicate hard links". Is the meaning that it creates hard links instead of to "replicate" them as separate inodes? or does it simply exclude new hard links from the mirror?
The reason that I ask this - I wanted to create a simple wrapper for mv that would first cp -la to a new hard link instead of to create a new inode, then run rdiff-backup, which would register the new hard link (or not? that's why I ask) and then rm the original file... the desired effect: that rdiff-backup would register the new hard link in the backup instead of to create a new inode, then when the original file is deleted, rdiff-backup would then remove the original hard link in future backups. Thanks! Dan
