You could always use a method to copy the file and use a date to encode
the filename.

i.e. - books_20110330_1609.tc

Then you keep only a finite number of copies.  This way the filename is
always unique and you could have something that renames it BACK to
books.tc (verifies the file isn't currently in use/etc.)

Would that work ?
