[Opensim-users] Is there a problem with AUTO-BACKUP in opensim?

I recently updated all my regions from a very old opensim code: OSgrid 
0.9.2.0 Yeti Dev    e8735b6997: 2021-09-16 18:39:32 +0100.

The AUTO BACKUP function was working just fine on that release. I use it 
on all of my regions.

I also updated from old Linux machines to using Bee Link MINI computers 
and windows 11.

I upgraded to the opensim OSgrid release: OSgrid 0.9.2.2 Yeti Dev 
d1466eb88a: 2023-03-23 23:07:41 +0000.
On that release, I noticed that AUTO BACKUP stopped managing the length 
of time it kept a backup file.
I have my regions set to save 30 days of files.  The old 2021 release 
did delete the older than 30 days files
running on the new hardware and windows 11.  I learned decades ago never 
to change hardware and software at the same time if it
could be avoided.

Today I started the update from:
OSgrid 0.9.2.2 Yeti Dev    d1466eb88a: 2023-03-23 23:07:41 +0000 to  
61d3e1ee19: 2023-08-26 03:21:38 +0100

I read the list of fixes and did not see anything that looked like it 
addressed this issue.
I've gone over my control statements and see nothing wrong with them.  
They have worked for me for many years.
Has there been a change to how auto backup works and does it needs new 
configuration information?

[AutoBackupModule]
     AutoBackup = true
     AutoBackupModuleEnabled = true
;; Twice daily = 720 minutes
     AutoBackupInterval = 720
;; Always run
     AutoBackupBusyCheck = false
     AutoBackupThreshold = 1
;; we do want assets
     AutoBackupSkipAssets = false
;; save 1 months data (60 files) per region
     AutoBackupKeepFilesForDays = 30
     AutoBackupNaming = Time
     AutoBackupDir = "d:/opensim/AutoBackup"

Auto backup still runs as expected, and makes two backup files for each 
region every day.  What does not work is
it no longer deletes files that are over 30 days old.  In the opensim 
log files I see when it runs and there are no error messages.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
