If you have a SYMLINK (NOT an alias) that is stored in the exact location as the folder it points to, and you use Smart Update, it won't touch the destination files. It MUST be in the same location. In other words:

Disk 1:

/Users/machster/Photos -> /Volumes/TheBackupVolume/Users/machster/Photos

Disk 2:
/Users/machster/Photos (actual folder)

If you copy disk 1 to disk 2 with Smart Update, Photos will be left alone, and will not be replaced with the symlink.

You must make sure you understand this before you try it. Please, experiment with noncritical data until you are sure you know how it works...
