> Is this mechanism affected by autobackup, and had, by any chance, the user set it to 0 (so there are no backups)?

No, it is not.

If autobackup is done, that backup is used to restore.
If autobackup is disabled, a temporary backup is made, and after
successful installation discarded.

Best regards

Norbert
