    Ooops my maths failed me - yes it is 30GB not 50GB

    With regards setting the overwrite there are 2 ways
    - Set your media sets to 0 days append instead of infinite and new media will be created
    - In your backup job properties use the Device and Media Section to choose how the job begins

    As mentioend your other media set is kind of doing the same thing - you are only seeing more than one BKF file there as your data has overflowed the 30GB limit a few times.

    Finally I would reduce your overwrite protection settinsg down form Infinite to a sensible or appropriate number of days or weeks as well as otherwise unless you manually move media to be overwriteable then your hard disk will fill up.
