There seems to be no way to include symlinks within a folder.
I considered to collect all links in folder backup_links.
disk f:
$RECYCLE.BIN/
.duplicacy/
main_folder/
backup_links/
symlink1
symlink2
symlink3
...
folder_to_skip/
...
Filters:
+main_folder/*
+backup_links
+backup_links/
+backup_links/*
+backup_links/symlink1
+backup_links/symlink1*
+backup_links/symlink1/
+backup_links/symlink1/*
+backup_links/symlink2
+backup_links/symlink2*
+backup_links/symlink2/
+backup_links/symlink2/*
-*
output:
Listing backup_links/
backup_links/symlink1 is included by pattern +backup_links/*
backup_links/symlink2 is included by pattern +backup_links/*
and that’s all. No listings of symlinks. Content of main_folder is included.
