Fred,

That should work as well, you will just want to make sure
that all the filespaces are renamed in the same manner,
following the naming standard.

For example, assume you original filespaces are:
     SERVER1\meta\0000
     SERVER1\data\0001
     SERVER1\data\0002
     SERVER1\data\0003

Rename to:
     SERVER1-R\meta\0000
     SERVER1-R\data\0001
     SERVER1-R\data\0002
     SERVER1-R\data\0003

In other words, make sure you rename all of the filespace
in a similar pattern because the data for a single databases
is split between multiple filespaces, depending on how
many stripes you used to perform the backup.

I tried this on my test server, and it worked fine with 3 stripes.
I was able to do a restore from the renamed filespaces.
They backup appear in the GUI under the server names "SERVER1-R".

Thanks,

Del
