[dba-Tech] Scheduled Backup not firing

I have a daily scheduled backup that should be running every afternoon.  The
schedule says it should take place but there is only a single file in the
backup directory and it is dated the first day that I set these up.  I can
see a "month" in the backup utility and it shows daily events.  

Any clue why it wouldn't fire?
How do I just say "run this event"?  I can't seem to just say "do this
backup job".
Why are Microsoft's utilities so sucky?
