Files with changed names

I noticed that AISBackup backs up a file everytime the file name is changed as if the file itself is a newly created/modified file. Is it possible for the program to recognize the file name change and backup only a shortcut of the new file name and point it to the actual content of the file that has already backed up? Thanks.

Backing up changed filename where data is the same

This is not really possible because it would take ages to check all files of the same size against each other and the files already on the backup. If the name of a file is changed as far as we are concerned it is a new file.
