In case a user wants to register to a new XS server, he/she has to first manually clear the previous registration details(if present). He/she has to create new registration even if he/she returns back to an XS server where his laptop has been registered before. Every new registration changes the serial number of the laptop and serial number is used in backup url and backup paths for that laptop in the XS server. Hence registering multiple times with the same XS server leads to unnecessary change in backup path.

Also from the various field reports where a user (generally a teacher) has to register to multiple XS servers on move, it becomes difficult to keep clearing the registration details manually. ([https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/362 one such report here].
