   Why not delete the 25th folder, rename all the other folders in reverse   
   order (24->25, 23->24, etc) then create the new backup in 1? This way 1   
   is always the freshest folder... That's how I'd do it, without the date   
   in the folder name, just the backup number from 1-25 (you don't need the   
   date, the folder creation time tells you when the backup ran).
