At the risk of making an obvious suggestion, why not use "move/rename" instead of "copy"? (I searched the list archives and couldn't find anything.)
Because when you move/rename filename to filename~, and create a new filename, the permissions and links will be lost.
Understandable. So you would end up with lost permissions/etc. on the first backup, and lose even those on later backups. Which is where the safe glib method comes in, I suppose. Thanks for the clarification.
