Backup Question

I have a server running windows server 2003 with a usb harddrive attached to it that I use to backup my sever.  I'm trying to figure out the best way to backup my server with the harddrive.  First I did a normal backup because I read that you should always do one of these first.  Next, I scheduled an incremental backup to run everyday and append the new data to the same backup file.  The problem is every day around 1 gig gets added to this file.  Eventually I'm going to run out of space.  Is there a way to automatically purge data in the incremental backup file after so long.  Or can I manually go into the file and delete backups (The daily backup appear individually in under the incremental backup file.  I've done 3 or 4 so I have 3 or 4 "C" root folders inside of the incremental file.
