Thanks for the feedback, and handling symlinks like that does sound useful. I just implemented it here d41e52e and afa6ff4, and it can be enabled with the --nofollow
flag.
I didn't have too much time to test it yet but everything seems to work as intended in the little testing I did. If this is what you had in mind and it works for your use case, I'll publish a new release with this feature soon.

Thank you, really appreciate it - it will enable us to start using backupy, which is a very slick alternative to rsync, especially on windows. (If you test your symlink handling, could you please test it on Windows, too - lots of symlink quirks there.) Looking forward to the release.

You're welcome! I finally got around to doing some more testing, everything works the same on windows as it does on linux, the only caveat being you may need to run it as an administrator on windows in order to copy symlinks otherwise you may get file not found errors.
This feature is now enabled in the latest version, 1.9.4
from backupy.
Thank you, really appreciate it! A very useful feature that many developers will appreciate on Windows.
I'll check it with backupy, but I think if you enable symlinks on Windows (see e.g. https://community.perforce.com/s/article/3472), you may not need the admin rights to copy symlinks anymore.
By the way, while we were waiting for this feature, we found that a lot of backupy functionality already is available in robocopy (a Windows buildin command line utility). So, you have a competitor.
