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/
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/

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