Overwriting B2D files

Hey guys

I'm having trouble setting my backup job to automatically overwrite files that were created on a removable B2D.  Is there a setting that i'm missing?

Thanks much.

Go to tools-> options-> Media management. Make sure "overwrite recyclable media before scratch media... " is selected if you want the files that are overwritable because of expiry of Overwrite protection period, to be overwritten and dont want to create new files. Default behaviour is to create new files, and not reclaim the old ones.

Please mark it a solution, if this is useful.
Thanks
