I use FFS to create a mirror of a large data set. The source is local. The target is on a network. This worked great until the IT department decided to move the data, leaving me with only SymLink files - 80,000 of them.

What I need FFS to do is look at the source files, and if the target has been converted to a SymLink file, ignore this and move on to the next file. I can set the SymLink setting to Follow the link but this is slow with my four terabytes of data.

I can figure out how to do this.
