Comment 20 for bug 453169

It seems like backintime uses hard links at the target, not between the source and the snapshots. This means that it would be easy to move the taget directory to a server using for example GIO/gvfs. GIO uses urls for bookmarks, and I believe that the url for a ssh target could be used with a rsync-command with little work. If its ssh-mounts only is ok for us.

Harlinks (same inode-number) in snabshots, another inode for the source-file.
