Seems like something somewhere should make that impossible or at least warn you before you overwrite a file. Unfortunately, if this is the actual case, there's probably not a damn thing you can do to get the previous tracks back.
Stop doing either of those things and it won't happen again, but they're both bad ideas except in really special situations, so probably just stop doing both.

I appreciate these comments, and believe you are right. I tried previously to set up my preferences to eliminate this confusion and make it more easy plus with more back up in case. What I think I did was screw it up. I had to redo the tracks that were overwritten, which was ok but dont want to make a habit of it.
Thank you much
