Re: [BackupPC-users] vista backup question
in case you were unaware, junction points = hardlinks on ntfs. Just exclude all of the WinXP directories like Documents and Settings to solve this. Vista users the Users directory instead..

Junction points are more powerful and hence more dangerous than hardlinks. - Junction points can be on different file systems - Junction points can be directories Also: - Junction points require special utility to delete properly (vs standard rm for hard links) - With hard links, all links are identical -- i.e. there is no notion of which is the original and which are the links. Not true with junctions since the storage is associated with the original file All of the above can cause problems if you are not careful. (Note I am not an expert on junction points and they traditionally have not been well documented so I may be missing some subtleties...) Just exclude all of the WinXP directories like Documents and Settings to solve this. Vista users the Users directory instead..

If anyone wants to put a link to the other parts of my guide on the wiki or even make a page for all of it, they're welcome to as long as they cite the source.
