Suggestion: Save multiple into just one folder #16

Description

I'm trying to figure out if this is a bad thing.

I have about 5000 Google accounts I'd like to download their own Google drive files.

If I do one run of all of the accounts, one bad file will crash the backup of the remaining accounts. Plus it will take days.

Right now I have a BASH script that allows me to backup all of the accounts (one at a time) but 15 accounts simultaneously. (I can actually max out our company's internet pipe this way.) However I then wind up with 5000 backup folders, each having only one account. I then wrote another script the rsyncs all of the folders into one "combined" folder.

If I were to add a command line parm to make the destination folder NOT add the timestamped subfolder, would this create issues? Since I'm using a ZFS filesystem with snapshotting, I don't really need the timestamped folder names.
