Hi Managers,

My backup is reported backing up twice the amount of data that I
actually have on my files system and I am in the process of debugging
the problem with their tech-support. I have been asked to "confirm if
I have any hard links on my system".

I am not sure how I can search for this. I know the lstat function
will report on links but I am not sure if it will tell me if a link
is hard or soft.

Any advice?
Dp.
