We had an incident this morning that ended up being caused by a Windows
server that was renamed (internally) and connected to a domain (previously
standalone), thus initiating a full backup of an 8TB volume/space, since
TSM now sees it as new filespaces.

How do I handle this to avoid a full backup?  Will simply renaming the
filespaces take care of this or is there a more elegant solution?
