I get an alert after the backup has backed up all files (i have verified and restored all folders to test)...the alert says prompts about Overwriting Allocated media.

I amn using a HP DAT40 drive with updated firmware.

Not sure how to stop this failing? 'A world without donuts is like a donut without a hole.......wait that would mean more donut! I'm a Genius' Homer Simpson
 
It may just be a delayed alert. I hate them. They tend to popup a minute or two after the event happened. I've done cleaning jobs and the robotic arm has moved the cleaning tape into the drive and the cleaning starts, THEN I get the popup 'Checking for Cleaning Tape'. Same thing when I need to import/export tapes. The 'mailbox' unlocks, I put the tape in, close the mailbox and a few moments later I get the popup to insert (or remove if I'm exporting) a tape into/from the mailbox.

I'm getting ready to turn off the popup alerts.
