Date is part of the file names in the scheduled backups.

For TrackStat data to be able to survive a restore, even with "Find
alternative files" enabled, it's important that the last part of the
file path is the same.

For example, if "Find alternative files" are enabled it will handle:
Old file: C:\Music\SomeAlbum\SomeTrack.flac
New file: E:\Music\SomeAlbum\SomeTrack.flac

And also:
Old file: C:\OldMusic\SomeAlbum\SomeTrack.flac
New file: C:\Music\SomeAlbum\SomeTrack.flac

But it will not handle:
Old file: C:\Music\SomeOldAlbum\SomeTrack.flac
New file: C:\Music\SomeAlbum\SomeTrack.flac

To handle the last case, the files must be tagged with musicbrainz
tags.
If there are a lot of cases like the last one, the best solution is
probably to do a backup, manually adjust the data in the backup file in
a text editor, restore the modified backup file. However, this can be a
lot of work if there are a lot of places that's changed, especially
since the data in the backup file is url encoded, so it's not that easy
to modify it manually unless you know what you are doing.
