Symbolic links to directories may be backed up in one of two ways.

Method 1:  The symbolically linked directory is handled as a special file
           and only the information required to recreate the symbolic
           link is backed up.

Method 2:  The symbolically linked directory is backed up as a normal
           directory.  All files and subdirectories within the
           symbolically linked directory are also backed up.

Method 1 is preferred because it minimizes the amount of data which must
be backed up.

Which method do you want to use? (1 or 2) [1]
