I launched it through the command line "nssbackupd". It looks like that everytime a backup is achieved, 2 subdirectories are created : either a "*.ful" and a "*.inc" ones, either 2 "*.inc" ones. It is not very annoying but just a bit messy.

I have done an update and a "make install" and I get the same behaviour with "NSSBackup Restoration GUI". Please have a look to the attached command line output.

Maybe the default should be to include them, but the main point is to know what's going on. Maybe a checkbox in the GUI ("exclude symlinks" in the exclude tab) would be welcome.
Sorry but adding "backuplinks = 1" in "/etc/nssbackup.d/nssbackup-BackupHome.conf" doesn't look to make the symbolic links to be included.

Maybe the "optional" in the GUI is a bit abusive.
Sorry but I modified the expeditor address to put a valid one, but no notification mail is sent. Please find the command line output in the following message.

5/ If I modify a profile inside the GUI (for example remove an included
directory), save it then launch a backup, I get a backup upon the old
version of the profile. It looks like I should exit the GUI and reopen
it to take the modifications of the profile in account, or run
"nssbackupd".
