exchange 2010 backup

Im using windows server backup on a windows 2008 box with exchange server 2010 installed.

the contractor set up my exchange box and configured the backups as well.
it has a raid 1 c drive.
a raid 1 + 0 d drive (this is where the exchange files are stored)

and a big terabyte sata drive for backups.
i am using windows server backup.
within the scheduled backup tab the settings say

backup item: local disk (c), New Volume (d:)
target disk New volume (G:)
Backup time: every day 11:00 pm

i think the contractor told me this was a full image backup.  
in the disk usage section there is the capacity and used space listed along with backup copies available which is 245 copies.

my g drive (the drive where the backups go) is almost full.  I have been copying and pasting the g drive windowImageBAckup file and moving it offsite.

since its full i want to take these files off of g drive and just let it start over making the backups for awhile until it fills up again.
if i cut and paste the windowsimagebackup file instead of copying and pasting the windowsimagefile.... will the next backup job scheduled tonight start a completely new image file or will it error out?
