Backup

Hi
I am running NT Backup - windows backup 5.0 (by Veritas) -
and I overwrite old backup files with new backup files.
When I set my backup on a scheduler - it always comes up a
media overwrite alert - "are you sure you want to
overwrite this file" - is there any way of automatically
saying yes to this prompt for a scheduled backup?
Thanks

Thanks - I have sorted it out. Veritas couldn't help us
because it is Microsoft supported - but I managed to find
some help because it is packaged in with Windows 2000 now.
