backup exec 11d failing

Running Backup Exec 11 D on an old server. Used to have a tape drive but it failed. I am using backup to disk on USB. It worked well for months then started to fail. Seems when I would swap out the disk it would create a new drive letter and fail to find media. thought I fixed that issue.

Now it runs but stops every 5 gig and gets an alert to insert backup media. I respond yes to the alert ( do nothing else) and it backs up another 5 gig or so until I get to 42 gig. then does verify with no issue.

Tried different disks - even started a backup and cancelled it after it started to run to make sure it would backup to the drive. but next morning sitting on waiting for media to be inserted just answer yes and it starts running......... Any suggestions
