Naming an automatic backup?

[jump]

Currently I have a nightly backup of my sites on my reseller account. I don't really like the fact that my backups overwrite themselves. Is there a way to append the date to the file name when DA does the automatic backup?

You could end up using a lot of space that way.

Why not just create a cronjob or two to rotate your backups and delete them after a certain amount of them?

Similarly to the way logrotate works in unix/linux.
