Post Mirror of HL-Backups over network share.

Hi,
I'm backing up my data to machine 1 using HardLink mode.
Machine 1 is connected to machine 2 over windows network share.
I'm trying to mirror backup data from machine 1 to machine 2 but it fails to detect inner hardlinks and it copies everything every time.

Is there a way to make this work?
Btw: Machine 1 runs on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Machine 2 on Windows 10 Pro.

You have to run HardlinkBackup on machine 1, so the data on machine 1 is on a local drive. Hardlinks cannot be detected on a network share, because of OS restrictions (but yes, they can be created on network shares). In the log file you will see entries, if hardlinks can be read.
