somerandomusername123 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 HiI use a backup solution on my linux system that makes extensive use of hardlinks to provide a time-machine like experience. For every backup a file doesn't change it creates a hardlink to the original file. Only changed files get copied. http://backintime.le-web.org/Now I would like to sync the whole backup folder to an external machine using btsync. Do you know if btsync will re-create hard links on the remote server? Or will it copy the same file over and over and use multiple times more space?ThanksSam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanZ Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 @SamBTSync won't re-create hard links. It will create files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeholczer Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Is there any plan to support re-creating hard-links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
