[Burp-users] How can I backup symlinks and empty directories?

[Larsen <lar...@we...>]

Hi,

I am currently evaluating Burp and it looks very promising so far.
Testing with Burp 1.3.48 from Debian Wheezy backports and with the latest  
1.4.32 in a local VM. I would prefer to use the Debian version even when  
it´s older as long as I don´t miss out on functionality I need.

In my test setup a directory containing some files and a symlink only  
stores the files but not the symlink in the backup.
Though, I have read that symlinks should be stored so what am I doing  
wrong? Do you need the client config?

Second problem is that empty directories are not stored. I assume this  
might be a general inconvenience as I know this behaviour from our current  
backup software.
Is there a way to store empty directories with Burp? (without the  
workaround to create dummy files)
