Incremental backup doesn't work with NTFS filesystem #10

I tried to use rsync-time-backup and linux-timemachine but they all just create duplicate files instead of hardlinks. Maybe it's possible to fix this somehow, or is it just a limitation of this filesystem?

Which file system and OS?

Edit: I see the title now.

I'll try adding some tests.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this issue! I use Arch Linux and backup files over ssh to ntfs drive with Fedora. I've tried to create backups from ntfs to btrfs and it works fine, but ntfs/ext4 to ntfs just duplicates files instead of creating incremental backups. Here's my fstab entry:

UUID=FCEE6AB0EE6A62BE /mnt/ntfs ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=022,fmask=133    0       0
