This is most likely caused by the FAT filesystem on the target device. |
| 5 |
Just like a lot of other errors, probably. Symlinks do not exist on a |
| 6 |
regular FAT. |

Copying data from a unix/linux-ish filesystem to a FAT-based filesystem |
| 9 |
is impossible without losing something (special files like symlinks, |
| 10 |
sockets, devices etc., file ownership info and more). Maybe there are |
| 11 |
some modern FAT variations capable of storing all this linux-specific |
| 12 |
data (thinking of umsdos), but I dare doubt that's the case of your |
| 13 |
backup drive. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If you're thinking of maybe recovering some important system files from |
| 16 |
this backup sometime, change the backup drive's filesystem to something |
| 17 |
more capable (the aforementioned ext2, for instance). |
