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.

It has been configured to run automatically (daily) when my Aura is connected. What I do is I connect it to my Mac and then open Calibre, which then detects it. But I guess about 5 out of 7 times, it doesn't do the backup even if there has been no backup for the day yet. I tried opening my Calibre first and then connecting my Aura but the result is the same. Even if I change my setting to backup upon connect and then restart Calibre to reflect this change, the backup doesn't work.
Before, it only takes seconds but now, when it works, I guess about ~3 minutes. I don't have a fixed time when I connect it. My database is okay (just checked it). The backups, when they work, don't have the CORRUPT text so I guess all is well on my Aura. I checked the timezone and there is also no issue with it. File directory is Users/*myHD*/Documents/Kobo.
I can't recall if it happened before the plugin had the issue wherein I had to re-add my Aura to the list of devices to make it work after a Calibre update (I posted about this, too) or after that. But I think it was after. Here's a screenshot of the settings I've always used:
