Hi - New user here of SBP and love it. I searched but didn't find my answer, so I hope my question makes sense.
On my computer, my Documents folder syncs to OneDrive through the OneDrive app. In the OneDrive app I have some folders set to always keep local copies of files and others are set to the default, which I think means that OneDrive will remove some local files if space is needed on my computer and replace it with a "shortcut" to the original file, which is still saved on the OneDrive servers.
My question is, how will SBP handle those shortcut files when I backup/sync my documents directory. Will it simply save the shortcut link, or will it somehow know the local file is just a shortcut then download and backup the actual file from the OneDrive servers?
For my backup settings, I mirror my computer to backup drives, so if I delete something on the computer, it will also be deleted from the backup. I also want my backups to save the actual file and not just a link to the file in the cloud.
I probably way over-explained my question, but I appreciate everyone's help. Thank you!
