So this will autromatically create a backup before an upgrade? Genius!

Yes, just press and hold to launch update with backup.

I thought they might have removed the option because Nabu Casa will only hold one backup. If you rely on Nabu Casa, the addon backup might replace the real backup. Did anyone try? Because that would be bad.

No, this creates partial manual backups. They are completely separate from automatic backups.
