Backup

I have a job I created to backup a users folder each night. I would like the backup to run each night until the tape is full.  Its a 2TB tape. When it gets around 59GB it switching to overwrite  operation with a meesage of no appendable media could be mounted.  Then I get media is over write protected and can't get any more backups on the tape.  Why is that happening and can I save a users folder over and over again until the tape is full?  Thank you for any help.

When is it reasonable to use the Append Period?
