[Duplicity-talk] hardlinks ?

[karl]

I have a question about hardlinks.

I currently administer several boxes that use backuppc.  Originally the boxes 
used 
rsync over ssh to keep a remote offsite backup of the data.

When I ran accross duplicity, it looked like the perfect solution to use in 
conjuction with backuppc.

I have come accross the following problem.  Backuppc's incremental backup is 
actually a full backup that consists of hardlinks to the original full backup.  
So 
when I run duplicity against backuppc's backups the size is many times the size 
of 
the original backup.

The question I have is...

Should I look for a way to get Duplicity to recognize hard links

or

should I ditch backuppc and look for another alternative which does not 
incorporate 
hardlinks?

If anyone else is using duplicity with another backup solution, I would be most 
interested.  I may just have to develop my own script to run duplicity on the 
smb 
shares which need to be backed up.

Thanks
Karl
