On small systems like cubox or RasPi a restore of larger backups fails due to missing space caused by making a copy of the tarfile to .restore. Trying to make a hardlink instead of copying the tar file could solve this.

@dolorosus for some weird stupid reason, LOT of RPi/RPi2 users prefer to have their /storage formatted as fat32 (of couse we dont support that). just fyi, this will break backup/restore for people who do nonsense ;) |

On small systems (e.g. openelec with 8Gb Micro sim), large Backupfiles can't be restore due to missing space for creating the copy of the backup tarfile in .restore.
Trying first to create a hardlink of the tarfile will avoid this this problem. creating a hardlink is much faster than than copying the tarfile.
If cerating the link results in error, a copy of the tarfile will be created the same way as before .
