Bug Description

Systemback process seems to work okay if I do NOT select user data, but if I do it will error out every time, fairly quickly with:

"An error occurred while creating the following hard link:"
"/home/.sbuserdata/home/system/"

system is the username
The distro is:
VERSION=14.04.3 LTS, Trusty Tahr (LinuxMint 17.2)

Appreciate any help, thank you.

Ok, but what is the reference file (in the error message)? Because the /home/.sbuserdata/home/system is a directory, not the target item. Is the /home/system a normal directory (so not a symlink or mount point)? And is this dir not contains any mount points?

So you just do not cooperate. I assume that a partition is mounted under your user home directory. And I fixed this problem in the daily build (version 1.7).
