Closing this to be very outdated, without getting any confirmation in
around 7 years. If you find this in an recent version of Déjà Dup.
Please file a new bug stating that Version.

Title:
  deja-dup doesn't support correctly symbolic links in paths

Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When restoring files from backups, files are not found if the path
  includes symbolic links :

  example :  ( relative to user's home )

  Images is a link to Donnees/Images

  Images/ is included in backup : 
  restoration of Images/aaa.jpg will fail. ( file not found)

  Donnees/Images is included in backup :
  restoration of Donnees/Images/aaa.jpg works

  Unfortunately, in this case right-mouse menu option "restore" is not proposed 
when browsing Images/, but is ok when browsing Donnees/Images/
   
  I guess that absolute paths are saved in backups, instead of relative ones. 
So the shell option has to be aware of absolute path and give it to the backend.
