ohionetadmin,
I had the same issue, each night my job file overwrites the previous file because it was the same name. Tim's suggestion worked for me, use variables with date (and time) in the filename.
Filename:
C:\...show ip arp ${YYYY}_${MM}_${DD}.txt
9/24/2014 was when I upgraded to NCM 7.3.2 from NCM 7.1.1 and "Show ip arp.txt" was being overwritten each day.
Now with the date variable, it will give me a new date/file each day.

Search for variables and others will show up as well. I can't find the complete list, but here are some.
Configuration Archive Variables
Cirrus Configuration Manager stores all downloaded configurations in a database. It can also store a copy of them in the configuration archive directory. The directory structure can be specified using any of the previous variables.
Additional variables may also be used when specifying the configuration archive directory. Many of these variables use the localization settings for the current language and region.

ResponseError | OK if the node is responding. Returns an error message if the node is not responding. |
Status | Numeric status of the node. 1 = Up 2 = Down |
Community | SNMP community string |
SNMPLevel | The version of SNMP supported by the Node. 0 = SNMP not supported 1 = SNMP V1 2 = SNMP V2 3 = SNMP V3 |
SysName | System name of the node. |
SysDescr | System description of the node. |
SysContact | System contact information collected from the node. |
SysLocation | System location information collected from the node. |
SystemOID | System OID discovered from the node. |
Vendor | Hardware vendor of this network node. |
VendorIcon | Name of the vendor icon used. |
MachineType | Type of hardware. This information is discovered by SolarWinds Discovery Engine. |
LastBoot | Last time the node rebooted. |
OSImage | Operating system running on the node |
OSVersion | Version of the operating system running on the node |
ConfigTypes | Types of configuration files supported by this node |
NodeComments | Any comments about this node entered by the user. |
NextDiscovery | Time for next complete discovery of this node |
NextPoll | Time for next poll (up/down and response time) |
Username | Login username |
Password | Login password |
EnableLevel | Enable level used when transferring configs or running scripts |
EnablePassword | Enable level password |
