Windows symlinks aren't restored

In Windows 10, build 1903, using the Windows binary, backing up a hierarchy that has files in it that are symlinks to other files in another directory (present in the hierarchy to be backed up), after restore the symlink files aren’t created at all, they’re simply skipped.

If I use the Linux binary, under Windows Subsystem for Linux, for the same hierarchy of files, on the same, Windows NTFS partition, the symlinks do get restored correctly.

Hello @lsjdfoshdfiuhsfgiu, if this is reproducible (and from your post, I think it is) you should really open a GitHub issue: https://github.com/fd0/restic/issues (as a “feature request”, because it seems they are currently ignored on purpose: https://github.com/restic/restic/search?utf8=✓&q=Windows+symlinks&type=)
