Why couldn't you just force a label write?

Sorry
I forgot to mention - the previous nights backup failed, so I was hoping
that if I set the backup to the same config as the night before so that
I could use the same tape labels, those tapes would be just overwritten
when I came in this morning....
>No.
I take it there's no way around this but to write a little script
perhaps in order to do this?

No. Why would you want to overwrite good backups with ones that may or
may not work?
