Reading the below made me think this may create issues with applications 
already in use on the system and fundamentally alter the function of the 
OS. Also, rebooting isn't ideal. I understand with your clarification 
above that this shouldn't cause issues on the OS for maintaining a 
separate directory with case-sensitive backups so I'll schedule a reboot.

"Also, be aware that using two filenames which only differ by case might 
result in some weird interoperability issues with native Win32 
applications. You're using case-sensitivity at your own risk. You have 
been warned!"

> Case sensitivity requires OS support.  So the answer is yes.

Thanks for your help!
