Is /etc/postfix a symlink?
If /etc/postfix is an absolute symlink, that would do it.
Ah... /etc/postfix is a symlink to /usr/local/etc/postfix/
Lewis, if you want symlinks in backups to point to the proper items
in the backup, you
could make the original symlinks relative.
ah... well, that would be ugly
Alternatively, you could
avoid all symlink surprises by using a daemon on the receiving side
with
"munge symlinks" enabled.
This is a local rsync, so there's no receiving daemon.
I see the actual files differ...
mail ~ $ ls -ls /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf /backup/akane.sday.0/
usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf
28 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 28322 Jul 27 16:31 /backup/akane.sday.0/
usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf
28 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 28334 Jul 28 11:09 /usr/local/etc/
postfix/main.cf
Is there anything else I can do other than remember which paths are
symlinked? I have quite a lot of /usr/local/etc/ linked to /etc/ for
convenience (postfix, apache2/ -> httpd/, etc) ... not that I am
likely to forget NOW. Maybe I don't need the -H option after all...
