Comment (by davidsarah):

 From the duplicate #1380 filed by gdt:
 > When running backup on a directory (which is in coda, which probably
 doesn't matter), I get
 > {{{
 > WARNING: cannot backup symlink '/blah/blah'
 > }}}
 > I consider symlinks important.  I realize tahoe doesn't have them (maybe
 it should) but this points out that tahoe backup is not a satisfactory
 general solution.
 > (I would argue that the backup program and the filesystem used to store
 the files comprising the backup database should be independent anyway.)
