The only problem with this behaviour is that if a directory gets
renamed/moved and only the directory gets backed up/no record of its
containing files, when you perform a restore of that directory only
files that have changed will be recovered, not the entire directory, to
recover the files that have not changed you have to browse to a time
before the rename find them in the old directory name (this behaviour is
present in windows not sure about other OS's, but I suspect so) - but as
Preston said there is a workaround in 7.5.1, and they were supposed to
be completely re-writing the file broker for 8.0 but who knows when that
will arrive - perhaps its in the upcoming 7.6 release ...
