I'll take a look at the -H option.
It should replace, if anything,
"/home/guraknugen/Eget/Datorer/Operativsystem/GNU
Linux/Dokumentation/Tangentbordslayout Ubuntu 20080217.ods" with
"/media/Backup/PB/guraknugen/Eget/Datorer/Operativsystem/GNU
Linux/Dokumentation/Tangentbordslayout Ubuntu 20080217.ods" and both are
links. However, the date of both links should be the same so I can't see a
reason why it would try to copy it at all… The -u option should make sure of
that, shouldn't it? But I will take a look at the -H option now, before I do
anything else. Thanks.
