I'd prefer not to add such an option at the moment. I'd rather that this
feature (LogFile option) not grow to infinite complexity. It's intended
for two purposes:

* Debugging, under close manual supervision
* Parsing by the NotifyScript to produce backup reports, followed by
deletion.

Is it possible for you to use the Windows Event log for general-purpose
logging and does that solve the problem for you?

Cheers, Chris.
