In case of path integral runs every replica $s=\{1, \dots , P\}$ gets its own RESTART_$s$, RESTART_$s$.x, DENSITY_$s$.x, ELF_$s$.x, and GEOMETRY_$s$ file.

In general, existing files are overwritten!

Exceptions are ``trajectory'' type files (TRAJECTORY, ENERGIES, MOVIE, STRESS, ...), in them data are appended.
