My answer in this post was kind of an assumption that you daily backup was trying to use two tapes when you expected it to use 1.

Having now seen your other post, please see my answer in the other post for scenarios where a small amounts of data is written to a tape but the tape is not filled and instead other tapes are used.

 

Basically between the two posts you need to look at

Which jobs start as overwrites

Which jobs start as append

Which media sets each jobs use

How many jobs run in parallel
