XSIBackup-DC 1.7.1.7 prohibit overwriting identical file names

Hi,

In one of my VMs, two VMDKs were referenced that were stored in two different folders but having the same file name:

./VM-folder/disk.vmdk
./other_folder/disk.vmdk

When replicating the VM, all files are written into the same directory so that the second disk, in the backup/replication, overwrites the data of the first disk. For obvious reasons, this problem cannot be easily overcome.  However, I recommend raising an error when detecting such circumstances as the backup/replication does not work.

Best regards,
Peter
