Why keep more than one backup?
Files are not only lost through drive failure. They can also be accidentally deleted, overwritten, corrupted or damaged by malicious software. Sometimes the problem is not noticed until several backups later.
Fast-Backup can retain earlier versions, giving you a better chance of returning to a known good copy.
