OK...

It looks to me as if Box Backup actually followed the symlink
(perhaps only in the restore command). Could you please check that?
When looking with bbackupquery it looks normal. The symlink looks
like a file and "get" rerieves exactly the symlink. But perhaps
"restore" gets confused.

Thanks,
