I am trying to use the following statement in a batch file tobackup
mysharepointfarm. But, the overwrite command doesn't overwrite the
priorbackupin that folder (as stated in the documentation). Has
anybody else been able to make this work? If so, how?

Here is a link to the documentation.

stsadm -obackup-urlhttp://WEB-filename \\LOCATION\FILE.bak -
overwrite -directory \\LOCATION\%date:~0,3% -backupmethod full
