When you choose not to have a timestamp appended and the file already exists the expected behavior would for the old backup to be overwritten. This is a minor check to see if it exists and deletes it and shows a warning that the file has been overwritten.

I've never had an issue with pre-existing files, and it has always worked as you describe for me, so I'm guessing this issue has something to do with the way your file system permissions are set up. Either way your change should work either way, so I'll take a look and get it committed when I get a chance.
