How does Deja Dup handle softlinks

Asked by Arbiel Perlacremaz

The files I want to backup are spread in a number of directories, which also countain less important data. Is it possible to record softlinks in a <to_be_backuped_repository> pointing to the files or repositories to be included in the process ?

Softlinks (also called symlinks) are not followed unless you directly point to them in the include or ignore list of folders in the Deja Dup preferences.

Can you help with this problem?
