I vaguely remember something about this. But I was thinking that the backups likely ran because the updates might be triggering wp-cron or something like that. I can’t find the old topic and I don’t see anything in GitHub either.
Can you tell me a little more about the schedules you have set up? What are they – are they all on a schedule or manual only? If the backups run, is it only when the BWP plugin is updated or is it when any plugin, theme or core is updated?
Let me know okay?

I couldn’t find the old topic either but I’m pretty sure it was fixed is a few releases I updated to until this last one brought the behavior back.
I only use BackUpWordPress on one site regularly and have a very simple backup set with only a few exclusions for images, which are backed up separately by using downML. Otherwise I would have to use up all my bandwidth with one large download.
Here it is:
Backup my database and files weekly on Tuesday at 11:55 pm, store the last 5 backups in /cat/wp-content/backupwordpress-d0b7d0dbb5-backups. Send an email notification to (my email address).
The unscheduled backup runs only when BackUpWordPress is updated – and to clarify again, the behavior happened a year or so ago, then it went away after I posted about it, then it just came back with the last update. The backup happens immediately after the BackUpWordPress update finishes.
Again, not a big hassle, just a minor annoyance.
Thanks for considering fixing it.
Thanks for providing more notes on this. I’ll pass them along to the developers to see if they can provide any checks against the schedule running upon plugin update.
