[Backup and NEW backup] what about ignoring symbolic links?

As already required, some kind of filed and folders exclusion could be very useful.
What I’m asking now it to exclude symbolic links from backup.
For sites with large data I often use external services like Amazon S3 mounted with s3fs-fuse or on other volume mounts.
Well, there was the default backup enabled and after some alerts from Netdata I saw the backup process

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/rsync -avzr --no-o --no-g --delete /home/ACCOUNT/ /mnt/bk/cwp_backup/daily/ACCOUNTworking hard, downloading 2TB of files from Amazon S3 filling my local volume (and spending $ for AWS S3 traffic).
What about adding a --no-links to the command, or better, allowing to customize/override the backup script?

Look at "Custom Backup" thread.
