When we want to "start from scratch", we rename the client's filespaces on
the ADSM server.
(to something like filespacename-OLD)
The next time the client backs up, it will back up everything again.

When you are happy with what is going on, the ADSM administrator can just
delete the OLD filespaces off the server.
