[GNC] Problem with save-as

I tried to use the save as to change the name of a file last evening. 
Here is what I did:

from the File drop down menu I chose Save-As,  When the next screen 
popped up it asked for the name I wanted to use. I chose and entered 
databack.  I then went to the Places select box and clicked on 640GB 
(F:).  Next I went to the Name screen and entered in the save in folder 
(pre-existing) cruzback.  Then moving to the bottom right of the screen 
clicked the radio button Save as. I looked in F:\cruzback.   There is a 
save with the familiar Backuologo followed with databack               
8/13/2019  GnuCash Financial Data  8 KB. There is also a 
databack.Gnucash.20190813152947    8/13/2019 3:29 which is the usual 
data file accompanying the backup files.  My question is tis,  why is 
there no dates etc. appended to the name databackup? I'm afraid that 
without that info, the next save will just overwrite this file.

any idea how I'm messing this one up?

Thanks,

James Fuller
