Currently the curve backups are dumped into the main DAAS dir. that's not great.

Backup file names are very useful, but they at this moment have structure like this: today is July 12, 2015: 150712.001 and then incremented by 1 in file extension. The code is in acquire.c (I think) The date is only actually created once even if experiments run for months. The structure was created in Win 3.1, so the filenames were 8+3 letters long. Also, the only directory these files are allowed to is DAAS directory which is bad idea. I would prefer the filename look like 150712-xxx.dat and be able to choose the backup directory

oh, yes, I forgot: the date should be current, so if I run experiments today and yesterday the files should look like 150711-xxx.dat and 150712-xxx.dat
