If it is a flat file backup and its not overwriting the overwritable media (i.e. .BKF files)
1. Go to Tools - Options - Media Management
2. Make sure Partial is selected
3. Is the "Prompt before overwriting imported media" checked?
4. Make sure "Overwrite recyclable media before scratch....." option is selected.

Always start disk based job as Overwrite
If you have GRT enabled and the job does not start as an Overwrite then the IMG folders may not be reclaimed (deleted) and you could run out of space.
