You have to do more than that.  You also need to merge (concatentate)
the backups files, and change the first entry of each line so that
matches the number of the data directory when you rename it as above.

The backup numbering should increase in time (ie: your oldest backups
should have the lowest numbers).  The lines in the merged backups file
should be increasing order of backup number (ie: smallest number/oldest
backups first).

If you have any incremental backups you must keep the numbering
monotonic (in order) with the full backups.  An entry (the 19th
field I believe) in the backups file is the number of the depedent
(ie: full) backup. So you need to change that too.  Hopefully you
can keep the numbering of the incremental and dependent full
backups the same, so you won't need to change the 19th field value.

For completeness you should also move and rename the XferLOG files.
