Rotation of backups can easily be done with Windows scripting or batch files. I do this with my personal computers at home, backing up to an NAS on my network. I use the Windows scheduler to run the backup batch file each night. The batch file fires NTBackup, setting a destination backup filename (incorporating the date). I do a weekly full backup, then incremental daily backups.
