Dear list,

we are facing a policy change requiring people to rename data files
in a trivial way (replace ':' with '-').

In terms of backuppc, this means that the files will have to be
transferred again, completely, right?

Or is there a way in which I can prepare the server for this change
and prevent the completely unnecessary transfer of terabytes of
data, just so backuppc can find out that the data haven't changed?

Thanks,
