Some questions about Hard-links, and backups
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite Recently I accidentally whipped out a directory with important stuff, and now I'm starting to think about the best ways to have backups, a remote copy It's already in place but I was thinking, about A scripts that replicates my directory structure in another directory, and makes hard links for all the files in the directory, so In case I delete something It still exists. But my question here is, Does git version control will still work? Should I replicate the structure and make hard links for each file or hard links the the directories? What I want is to be able to have a hard links to the same inodes, in some other place, so I don't harm the integrity of the files if I delete or something, the hard links should be updated with a cronjob, so I always have a pointer to them. The concern is If git will respect the hardlinks? backup hard-link share | improve this question edited 4 mins ago
