The docs don't say whether backups are run against all instances or just running instances. I accidentally corrupted a vanilla instance a few weeks ago, which had crashed in the meantime, and when I came back to it today any good backup had been pruned and replaced by hourlies of the now-corrupted server.
Is this normal behavior? Is there a condition where a crashed/stopped server might still be considered a backup candidate (i.e. if the shell is still connected to the console thru mscs console)? Ultimately it's not an urgent problem but I would like to have the backups configured correctly going forwards.
