BackupExec 11D Assistance

I've recently upgraded to BackupExec 11D and a new tape library.  Over the weekend, BE started a full backup.  It went through one tape and is asking for another overwritable media.  When I look at the slot summary, under devices, I can see all 10 tapes.  Overwrite protection is set to infinite - dont all and Appendable Until is set to infinite - allow append.  I can understand the overwrite protection is the root of the problem, as I've seen this a long time ago.  

My questions:

What is the best overwrite protection scheme, if it is even necessary?  I'm assuming I have to cancel the current job and modify the overwrite protection settings?  Lastly, I don't understand why a newly erased/allocated tape even has overwrite protection?

I've set to 2 media groups, one for daily diffs and one for the weekly.  This was more of an organizational thing.
