[Mageia-discuss] Symbolic links in Windows 7

Everybody probably knows this except me :(
+
+Browsing my new Windows 7 installation, I noticed a lot of symbolic
+links, identified by Linux as such.  AFAIK, this is new in Win7; it
+wasn't there in WinXP, which I have been using.
+
+I have just used this advantage to get around the following problem:
+
+Directories with spaces can be excluded in rsnapshot, by replacing the
+space with a ?, but a bug in rsync prevents directories with spaces from
+being backed up at all.  In the parent Windows directory, I created a
+symlink without spaces for the inaccessible sub-directory.  I was able
+to create it and add it to /etc/rsnapshot.conf, and the backup proceeded
+to completion. Changing the name of the subdirectory would probably have
+made it unusable by its Windows app.  If Windows hadn't allowed it, I
+would have put the link somewhere in Linux.
+
+Doug.
