No, not a tarfile limitation, there are hard links in the tarfile test code. The exception in duplicity is "Hard links not supported yet" if you try to back up a hard link, kind of implying work to be done. I'll have to study up on how hard links are handled before commenting further. As I recall, there's some really odd logic in handling files with multiple hard links coming to them. ...Thanks, ...Ken
