I am trying to use cloudsync with a symlinked directory, but the symlink does not show up as selectable directory in the cloudsync config dialogue.
Background is, that I do rsync backups from Slovak PC to a zfs dataset on truenas. Each backup run creates a new folder and only the increments are synced. Rsync uses hardlinks to show each folder with the complete content. A symlink „latest“ is created which points to the most recent directory.
I would like to use the cloudsync now for this directory „latest“ to push my latest rsync backup to the cloud. When I select the complete zfs dataset for cloudsync it resolves all hardlinks and uploads 300GB instead of 30GB. So I want to copy only the newest folder to the cloud, but the symlink to that newest folder doesn’t show up.
Any idea how to solve this?
