Same goes when I changed the setting to automatically backup every time my Aura is connected. I wonder how I can resolve this.
I'll have a look at the code and see what I can see. But, some thoughts:

Is the backup job being run all the time? If the backup is configured, the job will be run and that decides if a backup is needed. And how long is it taking? A thought is that it is doing the backup but for some reason deciding it is the one to be deleted when removing the older files.

Do you have a normal time of day for the connect? An error in the date checking would be the obvious reason. Or not handling timezone correctly. But date calculation error wouldn't explain the missing backups for the every connect option.

Could you give me a file listing from the directory the backups go to? Maybe I can see a pattern for what is missing.
