Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC - NTFS hard links

[Ryan K. <ad...@ry...>]

Actually, I believe hard links with NTFS are possible. A quick search on Google 
turned up this TechNet article from MS:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?
url=/TechNet/prodtechnol/winxppro/reskit/prkc_fil_baey.asp

From what I can tell, the 'fsutil' executable referenced here is found on 
XP/2003, but not Win2k. I have, however, spoken with another programmer who has 
used NTFS hard links in his C applications on NT/Win2k.

If anyone is interested in pursuing this, let me know and I'll try to dig up 
some more info.
