Just edit rotation.schedule and shift the last lines on top so that the next 
run, which will be named by the name of the last line of the modified file, 
gets the name you want.

Example:

rotation.schedule before modification (last run on wednesday, incremental 
backup on week2, that is sunday; next run will be on thursday):
-------------------------------------
thursday week2
friday week2
saturday week2
week3
monday week3
tuesday week3
wednesday week3
thursday week3
friday week3
saturday week3
week4
monday week4
tuesday week4
wednesday week4
thursday week4
friday week4
saturday week4
week1
monday week1
tuesday week1
wednesday week1
thursday week1
friday week1
saturday week1
week2
monday week2
tuesday week2
wednesday week2

rotation.schedule after modification (last run on friday, incremental backup 
on week1, that is sunday; next run will be on saturday):
-------------------------------------
saturday week1
week2
monday week2
tuesday week2
wednesday week2
thursday week2
friday week2
saturday week2
week3
monday week3
tuesday week3
wednesday week3
thursday week3
friday week3
saturday week3
week4
monday week4
tuesday week4
wednesday week4
thursday week4
friday week4
saturday week4
week1
monday week1
tuesday week1
wednesday week1
thursday week1
friday week1

Have a look at sarab.log to see what happens at each run.

Hope this helps,
Alfredo
