Hi<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
Hi,I chose "followed link to original file", in my quest to solve the <br>
aBackup setup non performance issue, the "follow link ...." created a <br>
duplicate,which I image to be a symbolic link, i.e. without the arrow, <br>
then deleted that new link, see resulting screen shot.... I have <br>
concluded the icon should link to the bin file did find  <br>
/home/a/bin/rsnapshot, and /home/a/bin/rsnapshot.diff but not the .sh <br>
append. Personal fuzzy Iogic tells me I had located earlier.The imagined <br>
resolution== link .sh executable via symbolic link to the icon? How <br>
would that be done? Thanks<br>
<br>
