How does it treat Junctions? (mklink -J)

Hi,

I am using NTFS junctions now at some point, which are created via “mklink -J”[1]. So now there’s lots of stuff behind them, which I don’t want to have backed up. I forgot about how Duplicacy handles NTFS (hard) links and junctions. Was it configurable? Duplicati IIRC has a per Backup setting…

Thx

[1] BTW, it’s because awkward Windows explorer does not allow to rename the Explorers quick access pinned items… so I found a workaround with mklink -j.

On Windows junctions are treated the same way as symlinks. That is, the first-level junctions (those under the source directory) are followed while junctions under a subdirectory are backed up as symlinks.
