And there is the reason why it backs up /.

Ok, thanks for finding that.

Why is urbackup backing up an entire directory structure based on a symlink?

Other backup utilities, and rsync, don’t do this?

Can it be disabled?

Is it possible to disable this symlink behavior?

It always struck me as surprising that urbackup will follow symlinks outside of a backup path by default.

When you add a backup directory to the local client you can also configure it to ignore symlinks to places outside of that path - see:

urbackupclientctl add-backupdir -h

@alyandon

Thank you very much for the recommendation.

I’m trying to get this to work from the server management GUI, so I’ve tried to follow your suggestion by doing this in the file backup specification:

/mnt|mnt/share_hashes

The syntax for this is really harsh, but that seems to be working.
