    Hello m8s,
    i am stuck here.

    If i want to copy/clone a partiton to another one, that contains softlinks,
    for eg. the gg:bin/ directory partiton.
    Which is the best to do it?

    A simple copy gghd: gghdnew: doesnt work like expected.

    Thanks for help

    Thanks for help but somehow this also only creates
    empty directorys where the links should bee.
    To bad there is not Partition Clone Tool.

    Maybe there is no way to copy softlinks?
    This would mean that the GGHD is not replaceable or even backupable :/
