sja on "I need to move some large folders"

$

I'm a new customer here (as a result of being abandoned by crashplan).... I've just about finished my initial backup taking about 3 to 4 weeks, which is not too bad for the size of the backup, I won't complain about that speed (although the speed of the sync option is drastically slower and not fit for purpous).

My problem now is that I want to do some housekeeping on my local hard drive, which will involve moving some large folders around that contain hundreds of gigabytes of data, but I don't want my backup to have to re-upload all of this stuff again.

I read elsewhere on this forum that I should login and move my folders within my backup to match what I have moved on my local machine to avoid the re-uploading, but I can't figure out how to do this. Can someone point me to where the options are to move a folder within my backup?

I'm confused by this as I never had to worry about this in crashplan (and indeed "livedrive" whom I also used a couple of years ago) which would detect moved files and not re-upload.

thanks and bfn.
S.
