    You can find out the bkf file name in respective job log. Also make sure other jobs haven't overwritten the data that was backed-up yesterday. 

    As you are seeing a huge difference in backed-up data original data, test the backup by comparing the contents of backup set with original. You can also try out a test restore.

I'm going to mark yours as the answer since it, technically, is the way you determine which media is associated with a job but my major complaint is that this is not possible by drilling down into a media set. I see no reason for a media set record to not identify which physical files it is associated with.

I think the new UI is a bit of a mess because of all the different ways you can access the same information.
