Following symbolic links

[PeterC]

I'm trying to setup a profile that copies the definition of symbolic links and doesn't copy the files that the link refers to. My settings are shown here in the below screenshot.

My problem is the profile is copying the definition as well as the files.

Hello,
can you be more precise? Are these really symbolic links to files, or to folders?

And how are the links made? Are they really file system links, or just lnk files?

And how can Syncovery copy both the links and the files - wouldn't that be duplicate filenames, which aren't allowed on Windows?

Can you give me some examples or screenshots?

Thanks.
