This may not be considered a nitpick but more of a feature request. If I move a disk or rename a host or move the host to a different domain, it'd be nice to be able to rename the disklist entry (DLE) and have history tracking, incremental planning, and most importantly recover/restore operations off tape know to follow the rename. Maybe it's as simple as allowing one or more "alternate DLE name" or "alias" (if you will) entries in a DLE (note the casual insertion of the word "simple" does not imply I have a patch, sorry). Going back and doing a rename on log files, index files, dump files, etc., is, of course, not practical and not really desired in terms of representing history of a name change.
