Hi All,

Even when I have Backup Exec set to overwrite, all my backups fail because of that error: "Media already contiains data of this type, backup cannot continue." Of course the media I put in does not contain the data I just backed up. In fact, I've reformatted the media and still get the same error.

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm running NT 4.0 SP6.
