We are currently looking at making a slight change to the directory structure 
on our main fileserver (win2000), primarly moving all our workgroup directories 
to the root of the drive they are on (removal of two redundant parent folders). 
I can probably already guess what the answer will be but I assume there is no 
way to 'trick' TSM into not backing up all the data again and expiring all the 
files and their history from their original location? I.E. Altering the backup 
history in TSM so that it reflects the new directory structure.

There is about 550Gb of data that will be affected and I was hoping not to have 
to backup all the data again. Our library is not very big and at capacity, our 
policy is already pretty tight so altering that will only cause other problems. 
It was bad enough when NTFS permissions were changing and TSM decided to 
rebackup gigabytes of data before we turned on SKIPNTPERMISSIONS YES.

Any tips to get around this that I haven't thought of?
