Multiple iPhone Backups?

iTunes seems only to keep a single backup of my iPhone. Is there a way to keep multiple backups? I'm having some problems with the iPhone and would like to be able to make a backup at least once per day, and if necessary restore to a backup from several days ago. But there's only one backup available in iTunes regardless of how many times I preform a backup.


Can I make iTunes keep more than just the most recent backup?


Thanks!

iPhone 3GS, iOS 4

"

iTunes only keeps one backup created during the sync process for each device. If you restore the iPhone or iPod touch and choose to set up as a new device from the Set Up your iPhone (or iPod touch) screen, iTunes will automatically sync and create a new, empty backup that will replace your previous backup. If you change your mind and want to restore to your previous state, you will have to retrieve your previous device backup from Time Machine (on your Mac), or other backup solution you regularly use. If you have Mac OS X 10.5.5 or later and use Time Machine, you may use Time Machine to find a previous backup."
