RudiC:
I do use it (BUPLOG) over again and the problem is that each time I use it gets a new time and I get a new log file name. I was hoping that the value of BUPLOG would be frozen in the initial...

RudiC:
I use BUPLOG twice and that is the problem:
Using BUPLOG twice means I call $(BackupRecords --log "$src") twice which means I get two different log file names. And remember, $(BackupRecords...
