It's quite unlikely that someone names a directory '2007-05-25_01.52.51.877577.%computername.ful', but you may be right, it's probably not a good practice. How about, when changing the backup directory in simple-backup-config, a friendly popup that asks you if you want to move your existing backups there?
By the way, I just noticed /etc/mtab in my backup... couldn't that cause a conflict when restoring a full backup?
