By default fbackup backs up symbolic links.

SAM should also do the same

Depends what you mean. fbackup will backup symbolic links but if you want to back up a directory which has a symbolis link, you need to backup the directory.

ie ln -s /home/mike /mike

/mike --> /home/mike

fbackup -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /mike

will only backaup the sybmolic link on the /home/mike directory.

sorry should say "to the /home/mike directory"

to backup /home/mike you need to include it. ie -i /home/mike
