or maybe backupdir/* for the current one, and backupdir/0/* to 
backupdir/(i-1)/* where i is the # of backups to be kept.
ie
 backupdir/
 backupdir/0
 backupdir/1
 backupdir/2
 backupdir/3
 backupdir/4
for 5 levels of backup after the current.

??

btw; ill do this unless anyone else has a pressing desire to do it.
