Artem, It sounds like you are wanting to backup files within symlinked directories and then restore those into existing symlinked directories.
I think you could use "--copy-dirlinks --keep-dirlinks" in the extra rsync options at the bottom of Expert Options. The first will follow the symlinks on the source side, and the second will respect existing directory symlinks on the target side. Beware that, depending on the scope of what you're syncing, there might be other symlinks that might be followed in a way you wouldn't want. You could run `find <some-directory>/ -type l -xtype d -ls` to look for what other directory symlinks are in your include folders. The snapshot would only have regular directories and no record of which ones were symlinks, so if the symlink doesn't already exist where it's being restored, a regular directory would be created for it instead. If using "Restore to ..." from the Restore menu could do what you need, that might be simpler and safer.
