I've fiddled around with rsnapshot but never really gotten into it,
mostly because I can't seem to figure out for sure whether NTFS-3g
supports hard links or not. Nowadays with the state of Windows ext2
drivers, NTFS is (ironically) the better cross-platform OS, but I can't
find out whether it's possible to make hard links on it. Does anybody know?

I remember a CLI tool for links in the Windows 2000 resource kit. It worked very similiar to ln.
