A small trap for young players: the short name is defined by the order of directory creation. So if the server dies and you recover from backup, anything that relies on the short name is likely to fail if the recovery doesn't create the directories in exactly the right order. Isn't Microsoft *wonderful*?

I don't know this from personal experience, but I have heard it from somebody whose experience and knowledge in these matters I trust. Verify if it's a concern for you.
