I think I understand you you're doing.

If you right click on DATABASE to backup as you explained, you will get the "BACKUP DATABASE MAIN SCREEN"

This screen doesn't check to see if a scheduled job for this backup exists. It ASSUMES this is a MANUAL backup. If you select the scheduling options and click OK, it creates a job with the appropriate schedule. However, the next time you
"right click Select Datbase->All Task -> Backup Database "
It will show you the same blank screen (and defaults).

Each time you schedule this way, a new job is added to the job list (It doesn't overwrite jobs, but renames them by appending a number after the name).

This particular interface was not designed to maintain backup jobs, but to backup manually, and for convenience convert manual jobs to scheduled jobs for continued use.

I believe your options are to use Database Maintenance Plans, or to manage the schedule in the JOBS list instead. If you look, you should find a job with a schedule matching the one you created through the "manual" interface.
