Does this still happen with newer releases of sbackup (0.10.5 resp. 0.11.4)?
Please feel free to reopen it if it still exists. Thanks.

It's quite unlikely that someone names a directory
'2007-05-25_01.52.51.877577.%computername.ful', but you may be right, it's
probably not a good practice. How about, when changing the backup directory
in simple-backup-config, a friendly popup that asks you if you want to move
your existing backups
I can understand the problem you have faced, but imagine that fore some
reason, someone names one of its own dir so that it matches sbackup
regex. We can't exclude it.
But I think it can be a good idea to exclude the backup folder (I mean
the root eg. /var/backup/ ) by preventing users to choose i
Setting as confirmed, since actually nothing prevents sbackup to do
this.
