We are currently looking at making a slight change to the directory structure on our 
main fileserver (win2000), primarly moving all our workgroup directories to the root 
of the drive they are on (removal of two redundant parent folders). I can probably 
already guess what the answer will be but I assume there is no way to 'trick' TSM into 
not backing up all the data again and expiring all the files and their history from 
their original location? I.E. Altering the backup history in TSM so that it reflects 
the new directory structure.

There is about 550Gb of data that will be affected and I was hoping not to have to 
backup all the data again. Our library is not very big and at capacity, our policy is 
already pretty tight so altering that will only cause other problems. It was bad 
enough when NTFS permissions were changing and TSM decided to rebackup gigabytes of 
data before we turned on SKIPNTPERMISSIONS YES.

Any tips to get around this that I haven't thought of?
