rsync - Nov 2008 - are hardlinks supported when rsyncing over ssh?

Subject should be enough: are hardlinks supported when rsyncing over ssh?

I know that I cannot do anything with hardlinks if I'm using SSHFS over
FUSE, I was wondering if rsync is plagued by the same problem.

Rsync's --hard-links option preserves hard links; the type of connection
being used (ssh or otherwise) does not matter.  See the man page
description of --hard-links for details and caveats.

If you use FUSE then you can mount a virtual file sytem and then use hard
links. The LBackup project has some pre and post scripts which deal with
mounting and unmounting disk images via MacFUSE.

Have a look at the following URL which has futher inforamtion regarding
this setup :

Hope this helps.
