Stay incremental when source folder becomes non-safe symlink
Hi there,
BIT has served me well for over two years now -- great piece of software!
Now, however, a problem came up when I had to move some of my source folders to a partition on a new (larger...) hard drive. In order to keep everything as close as possible to its previous state, I created identically-named symlinks to those moved folders. This way, most of my day-to-day operations work fine, but BIT seems to think that everything inside the thus treated folders has changed and wants to re-copy all contained files into the new snapshot.
So is there any way to trick BIT into treating the contents of folders which have become (unsafe, since pointing to a different file system) symlinks as unchanged? (Maybe, if there's no other way, by manually replacing the contents of the concerned backup folders with hard links to the previous snapshot?)
Thanx for any hints on this issue --
Torsten
