Check HELP /MESS MOUNTERR :

 User Action:
  At this point, the Backup utility allows you to either quit
  the operation, overwrite the volume label and continue, or put
  a new volume in the drive and continue processing. To abort
  the operation, enter the QUIT command at the BACKUP> prompt.
  To overwrite information in the volume header and continue
  processing, enter the OVERWRITE command at the BACKUP> prompt.
  To restart the operation with a new volume, enter the NEW
  command at the BACKUP> prompt. If the QUIT or NEW command is
  chosen, the Backup utility automatically dismounts the volume.

So, in what way doesn't "NEW" work ?

Best Regards
Jan-Erik.
