The wild guess was based on a site I maintain. The automatic backup process stops every couple of months although there are other Moodle instances on the same server doing the automatic backup very reliably. The server is Ubuntu Linux 20.04 (LTS) running Apache 2.4 and PHP 7.4, and maintained up to date. All Moodle are from rel. 3.9, although the minor versions vary. The problematic Moodle is 3.9.10+ (Build: 20211015). The automatic back is invoked through running the script admin/cli/automated_backups.php daily through the crontab of www-data,
I don't know the cause of the problem. Once this happens I violently change the settings of automatic backups and rerun the script. Last time, restarting the process which stopped mid January weeks later, I disabled enableasyncbackup (amoung other changes). I too don't know what made it work. The automatic backups started a day later.
