<p dir="auto">overwrite option these is only to make sure you dont want to update existing archive when they have same filename. It is not there to delete old backups.</p>
<p dir="auto">what we can do is disable the overwrite checkbox when timestamp is select, so there is no confusion.</p>

<p dir="auto">add-time stamp will create unique filename and it will not overwrite previous backup… if you uncheck it, then it will be same filename as before and it will overwrite it.</p>
