I searched the forums trying to find the answer to my question, but I can't seem to find quite the answer that I am looking for. I got the extra 40G hard drive on my server with the recent free add on for current members.

I set it up to do backups and I'm not having any problems, but I was wondering does each of the daily, weekly, monthly backups overwrite the previous backup? In other words, does November's monthly backup overwrite October's? I would like to enable the daily backups to better ensure I don't lose data, but I don't want to have to make sure to go and delete a bunch of old backups so that the hard drive doesn't fill up.

I am pretty sure that as each backup is created it has the date as part of the name so you would end up with multiple files that you would have to clean out
