Replica for local backups

I intend to use "replica" to make local backups.
But notice that a folder with the date is not created. It would be interesting if this were possible and that the "rotate" option also worked in this mode.
The reason for using "replica" instead of "backup" is that the deduplication system creates many files and VMFS does not support this. In a local environment I prefer to have replicas and be able to program them in a way that rotates automatically (similar to --backup-prog=xsitools in XSI Pro).

Re: Replica for local backups

We may add something like what you propose in some future version. By now you can create replicas or deduplicated backups.
