#'@description This function allows to divide and save a object of class 
#''s2dv_cube' into a NetCDF file, allowing to reload the saved data using 
#'\code{Start} function from StartR package. If the original 's2dv_cube' object 
#'has been created from \code{CST_Load()}, then it can be reloaded with 
#'\code{Load()}.
#'
#'@param data An object of class \code{s2dv_cube}.
#'@param destination A character string containing the directory name in which 
#'  to save the data. NetCDF file for each starting date are saved into the 
#'  folder tree: \cr
#'  destination/Dataset/variable/. By default the function 
#'  creates and saves the data into the working directory.
#'@param sdate_dim A character string indicating the name of the start date 
#'  dimension. By default, it is set to 'sdate'. It can be NULL if there is no
#'  start date dimension.
#'@param ftime_dim A character string indicating the name of the forecast time  
#'  dimension. By default, it is set to 'time'. It can be NULL if there is no 
#'  forecast time dimension.
#'@param dat_dim A character string indicating the name of dataset dimension. 
#'  By default, it is set to 'dataset'. It can be NULL if there is no dataset  
#'  dimension.
#'@param var_dim A character string indicating the name of variable dimension. 
#'  By default, it is set to 'var'. It can be NULL if there is no variable  
#'  dimension.
#'@param memb_dim A character string indicating the name of the member dimension.
#'  By default, it is set to 'member'. It can be NULL if there is no member 
#'  dimension.  
#'@param single_file A logical value indicating if all object is saved in a 
#'  single file (TRUE) or in multiple files (FALSE). When it is FALSE, 
#'  the array is separated for Datasets, variable and start date. It is FALSE  
#'  by default.
#'@param extra_string A character string to be include as part of the file name, 
#'  for instance, to identify member or realization. It would be added to the 
#'  file name between underscore characters.
#'
#'@return If single_file is TRUE only one file is created. If single_file is 
#'FALSE multiple files are created. When multiple files are created, each file 
#'contains the data subset for each start date, variable and dataset. Files 
#'with different variables and Datasets are stored in separated directories.
#'The path will be created with the name of the variable and each start date.
