Normal behaviour is that deleting a 'hardlink' (i-node) doesn't delete the 'file' (datastream) unless its the last i-node to the datastream in question.

I'm not sure about e..z's suggested usage of hardlinks and rsynch, maybe he can tell us if there are circumstances that the scripts do delete all the hard links for a given datastream.
