By default, symlinks are not followed, but stored as they are. In your first example: Jim's homedir will be stored once, namely as part of the directory /mnt/harddrive. In your second example, only a symlink to "mnt/myharddrive/jim" will be saved.

The features you requested are already available, you do not need to change backup2l for this.
a) To skip directory trees you can add the '-prune' action to your SKIPCOND setting, e.g.: SKIPCOND=( -name "unimportant_dir" -prune )
b) To prevent backup2l from crossing filesystem boundaries you can add '-xdev' to your SKIPCOND setting.
Details can be found in the man page of...

What puzzles me is that your error messages contain the complete file information (" 2368 12/08/08 18:11:07 0009.0013 0664 /var/spool/...") and not just the file names. This is definitely wrong, but I have no explanation why.
The following line inside the function 'prepare_backup' (file `which backup2l`) is responsible for extracting the file names from the new file list...

What looks strange to me is that your messages contain file information (date, time, ...) and not just the file names.
Can you provide me with more information (perhaps per E-Mail)?
- Version of backup2l
- your platform/distribution
- the complete output log (you may remove most of the 1500 error message lines, but please do not abbreviate those that you leave so that I can see the...

Yes, this may indeed be useful in some applications. And it is already supported by backup2l!
You can at any time move archive files (e.g. .tar.gz or .afioz files) away from the archive directory, e.g. to removable media.
backup2l will not be confused by that and all operations that do not actually need the archive data still work. Operations that need the archive files - such as --restore...

Sorry for the (very) late reply, but maybe this is still useful for you:
a)
The attributes by which backup2l determines whether a file has changed are determined by the constant FORMAT in the header of '/usr/bin/backup2l'. If you remove "%04m", permissions will be ignored. See find(1) for details. The FILTER_* commands following that definition have to be adjusted accordingly...

Dear John,
in the present version it is not easily possible.
But you may try the following:
In file '/usr/bin/backup2l', function 'do_backup()': Change the order of the following code:
# Run pre-backup
echo "Running pre-backup procedure..."
PRE_BACKUP
# Operate in destination directory
cd $BACKUP_DIR
rm -fr $TMP.*
# Remove old backups...
echo.

I took a look at the code and tried to figure out what is going wrong.
Obviously, the problem is related to the invocation of 'prebufferChunk()' in 'CSoundPlayerChannel::setSeekSpeed()'. It performs various blocking 'TMemoryPipe::write ()' operations. The write accesses to memory pipes are mutally exclusive, so that parallel invocations of 'prebufferChunk()' from different threads...
