Concurrency is actually working fine for you. You see that jobs 11172 
and 11173 are both backing up at the same time.

Job 11174 would wait no matter what, because you gave it a lower 
priority than the other jobs. Give it the same priority as the others, 
and it may participate in the concurrency (unless there are other things 
that prevent it)
