    So I don't think this is a problem, but I'm just curious as to what is causing this behavior.

    Two backup jobs.

    If you are running differentials that second one will cause you trouble. If you're just using full and log, there won't be any problems.

    Possibly something (like BackupExec) running at the server level and hooking into SQL to take database backups. Speak to your windows admin
