Description of problem: If someone want to backup file and don't know it is a symlink, then rlFileBackup && rlFileRestore make correct backup of symlink, but original file could be changed by test. In this case, rlFileBackup don't backup data, but only symlink to them. Although this behaviour is correct, I think it would be great to see info/warning in log whenever symlink is a target of rlFileBackup. It could help with finding bug in test cases.
