Steps to reproduce

I uninstalled Aegis from Google Play and installed from F-Droid (this specific scenario has likely nothing to do with the bug).
I open the most recent backup file in my backup location and enter the password. In Settings > Backup I select Automatically backup the ... Next I select Trigger backup. A backup is made. However not 1, but 5 new files are in my backup location, which means all my old (default 5) backups have been overwritten. They all have a timestamp within minutes where my backups had all a timestamp of 1 month ago (before reinstall).

I tried to reproduce this scenario. Now "only" two new backups are made.

What do you expect to happen?

Only 1 new backup file, and my older backup files are preserved (at this time).

What happens instead?

When you initially set up automatic backups, Aegis automatically schedules an initial backup for you. If you then also tap "Trigger backup", you'll have a total of two backups. So no irregularities there.

Regarding the 5 new files you noticed, I don't see a reason why just setting up automatic backups would trigger the creation of 5 backups. It's more likely that you made a couple of small changes, each triggering a separate backup.
