I think if you run a copy from Windows Explorer from one location to another, its going to restore call a retrieve from FSA and get the latest version thats archived
then in the directory you copied them to, you should just have files and no shortcuts
If you wanted to use FSAUtility, you could use the -t and -f options, where -f only restores files where the File and the Placeholder exist.
So in other words, if the placeholder has been deleted, no file will be restore from FSA
The downside to this is, if you have an updated file, EV will replace it with what is in the Archive
