It's a little trickier than that. If you remove a backup you need
to also remove any subsequent backups that depend on it (eg, any
incrementals of higher level than the one you are removing, until
you reach a backup of the same or lower level than the one you are
removing).
Also, since your script might run asynchronously, and you rename
the backups file after removing the backup, there is a race condition
that the backups file could be updated before you copy a new one.
However, I agree that's unlikely.
