Symlink handling was improved in 20.0 (available in Ubuntu 11.10), I
believe this is fixed.  Let me know if not.

Title:
  Can't restore from symlinks

Status in Déjà Dup Backup Tool:
  Fix Released
Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: deja-dup

  I have some folders in my home folder symlinked to a mounted
  partition, one example:

  lrwxrwxrwx  1 kieran kieran        30 2010-10-10 17:17 Documents -> /home/kieran/Dropbox/Documents
  lrwxrwxrwx  1 kieran kieran        24 2010-06-08 19:03 Dropbox -> /media/Shared/My Dropbox

  I have added Documents explicitly to the include list to backup.
  Backing up works fine (deja-dup follows it and backs up from its full
  path), but if I restore from within /home/kieran/Documents it says the
  file is not in the backups, if I restore from the /media path, it asks
  for my password then fails as per bug #568559.
