    own_folder_for_db = true

`own_folder_for_db` - When enabled, each database will be stored in a folder with the name of:

    ; run_folder /
    ;   / database_name1 /
    ;       / database_name1-2013040412.tar.gz
    ;       / database_name1-2013040416.tar.gz
    ;       / database_name1-2013040420.tar.gz
    ;       / ...
    ;   / database_name2 /
    ;       / database_name2-2013040412.tar.gz
