    11PM next day

    1 days means 24 hours between backup - so you will see "backup window creep" where the backup will run later and later for each failure. Set instead frequency to e.g. 16 hours instead of 1 day - Then all backup will start when the backup window opens at 6PM.

Every 1 day and every 24 hours are exactly the same. 
The current backup frequency means that your backup will only be attempted at 10PM tonight.

I agree with Nicolai - reduce the frequency to overcome 'schedule creeping'.
