Yes, if you know ahead of time that the upcomeing weather event
is worth saving. I assumed that the weather would have to occur
before it became obvious that one would like to keep it.
The exception is a "field project" in which one wants to save
everything during some period of time. In this case, simply
shutting down the scour program will work (or skipping the
directories that you want to keep).

Similarly, it'd seem that you could make a relatively quick change
(addition) to pqact.conf, posting the data to a new filesystem as
needed, and remove that instance when you're done. Or am I missing
something fundamental here?
