Error - Mount failed.

I keep getting this message on our backup. System cancelled. I thought we set all media to overwrite protection "NONE" and that that would solve the problem. I've seen a few threads about setting the overwrite to 0 - but I didn't think this was possible.

note: the backup was working fine until i tried to get fancy and set the overrwite to 5 days - since we use a m-t-w-t-f1-f2-f2-f3-f4-f5 backup schedule. but I am positive that the media set and media now indicated overwrite - none.

any help woudl be apprecaited.
thankyou
