See this discussion, but which is from 2015, so I'm asking for confirmation: )įrankly speaking, I advise against any synch tool which does not do it the way you'll need it, so for the time being, and up to better information (updates), no discount justifies buying a tool not being able to do it. (This "manual" page is brand-new:, and from there, they link to this: which is just dated "copyright 2018", so I suppose this is current valid info there, and then it just treats file symlinks as-is, while at the end of the day, that's even more important for folder symlinks. Unfortunately, this functionality seems to be absent though, and from my knowledge (and my experience with it), Syncovery (which is not on offer but obviously worth its full price) is the only such (2-digits-priced) tool which offers both: NOT following file symlinks AND NOT following folder symlinks, i.e. Could you confirm that SyncBack Pro (since you use it) does mandatorily follow folder symlinks even in its current version, or better even, tell that by option, it does NOT follow them, which for sync and backup purposes, would be the wished-for behavior.
