You should be able to do a matching move in the latest full backup
tree under the pc directory for that host if you understand the
filename mangling (precede with 'f', and URI-encode %, /, etc.), then
force a full backup.  Note that this will break your ability to
restore back to the old location for the altered full and its
subsequent increments.
