that was solved in 0.13.6... from the change log:

|************** Serious bug fix ******************
|If a directory in the source directory was replaced by certain
|symlinks, then if later backups failed they could cause files in the
|directory that the symlink pointed to to be deleted!  Much thanks to
|Alistair Popple for pointing this bug out and providing a test case.
