A 'rotate' function is not implemented yet, but it is a good idea. Thank 
you!

Yes, the UNIX timestamp will be a part of the filename in default. Both 
a period and a filename will be configurable in BIRD's config file.

The filename format will be the strftime(3)-like format extended of a 
key '%f' for replacing with the name of the dumping table.

For more info, you can check out the pre-release version of 
documentation:

Best,
