Hard drive not overwritable

I have what must be a rather simple question, but I am unfamiliar with Backup Exec and hope someone can point me in the right direction.

I have a backup job that is backing up to a hard drive. After several days (weeks?) of backing up without complaint, it is now asking for overwritable media to be inserted. However when I view the status of the backup folder, it shows: "Overwrite Protection Until: Overwritable (Imported Media)."

Any idea what the problem is? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

What is the OPP (Overwrite Protection Period for your media sets?
if you are not sure,  from the media tab, right click each media set\properties
