Are you sure it overwrote it?

If you do a backup to a tape and leave it in the library, the next night
when it runs the backup it will APPEND to the end of the tape with
tonight's backup.

Go into the Backup Archive and Restore window and look and see if you
have both backups still avail.

Or go into reports and look at Images on tape, and see if it shows both
backups on the tape.

Netbackup will continue to write to the tape until the tape is full
(written all the way to the end) then it will pick up a new tape.
