Interesting.
If I just change the key without starint all over, will then boxbackuip
conclude that all my files have changed, and upload a new version
without any problems, or is the infrastructure around the files
(pointers, lists, whatnots) also dependant on th ekeys.
Can I then retrieve old files by just stopping dameons and copying back
the old .*, starting bbstored an do a 'get - <very-old-version>' in
bbackupquery?
