Multiple configs and rotation.schedule corruption?

Let me know what you find out, I would like to solve the problem.

Also, does the new version do what you would like regarding multiple 
backups?  I was thinking that you could create a directory for each backup 
(i.e. /etc/sarab/server2/) and create a custom sarab.dcf, sarab.conf, 
rotation.schedule in that directory.  Then call sarab.sh with 
/etc/sarab/server2/sarab.conf to start that particular backup.

That's probably a bug I need to look into.

If you are talking about the name of the Dar file, you can edit BASENAME.
# Get the date and time with custom formating; used as the basename for the 
DAR file
# For more information on the date command, type "man date" at the command 
prompt.
BASENAME="$(date +'%m-%d-%Y_%H%M')"

By default it formats the current date and time to name the Dar file.  If 
you wanted, you could name it whatever you wanted.
BASENAME="server2_$(date +'%m-%d-%Y_%H%M')"

Is that what you were looking for?
