frecover and symbolic links

I tried to create a symbolic link from 1 file to another file and frecover with -X just destroys the link.

Is their an option for frecover to follow the link all way when the link is a file rather than a directory?

I'm sure the answer is no, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
testing is for wimps.....

Re: frecover and symbolic links

Hi:

The restoration by 'frecover' of a symbolic link or the object to which it points depends upon how 'fbackup' was optioned.

The '-s' switch to 'fbackup' tells it to backup the object of the symbolic link. The default is to backup the link itself.

See the manpages for 'fbackup' for more information.

Regards!
