An experiment last night leads me to believe (N=1) that a renamed VM will take 
a full backup even if you rename its filespace to match its new VM name.

I do not know if it takes a full backup again.

My vmware admin is planning to rename a number of VMs to conform to a new 
naming standard.  Can I avoid new FULLs of the renamed VM by renaming the 
filespace associated with that VM to match the new name?  Or will info in the 
CTL file force a FULL backup anyway?
