So the scenario is that It seems to append to the bak file when creating it, is it possible to stop it from doing that and just backup the current version?

here is my code

Server backFromServer = new Server(@"server ip add");
backFromServer.ConnectionContext.LoginSecure = false;
backFromServer.ConnectionContext.Login = "uname";
backFromServer.ConnectionContext.Password = "psd";
Database backFromDb = new Database();
backFromDb = backFromServer.Databases["dbname"];

Backup bkpDatabase = new Backup();
bkpDatabase.Action = BackupActionType.Database;
bkpDatabase.Database = backFromDb.Name;
bkpDatabase.Incremental = false;
bkpDatabase.LogTruncation = BackupTruncateLogType.Truncate;                

BackupDeviceItem bkpDevice = new BackupDeviceItem(@"D:\backupfolder\backup.bak",
                                                  DeviceType.File);

bkpDatabase.Devices.Add(bkpDevice);
bkpDatabase.SqlBackup(backFromServer);
