It seems the team might not have added this because having a backup before upgrade is recommended to help restore in case of any failure.
Adding in admin panel itself will allow server admin to disable such backups and in case of failure they might end up in trouble.
Both of those points make sense, however, the reason I found out about this is because I had several customers exceed their account quotas due to these backups which is disruptive to email and other processes from working.
I certainly agree with the safety in backing up but depending on how they manage their disk space (and backups on their own, hopefully), an undesired backup may cause problems.
Maybe there's a way to have a checkbox below the option where they decide if they want Softaculous to automatically upgrade them in the future that states something like: "Please be aware that if you select this box, Softaculous will run a backup each time before it upgrades this script even if you have overall Softaculous backups disabled. You will need to delete these backups as needed if storage space is a concern."
Here's another question, does it rotate these backups? Say WordPress updates 5 times over a few months -- would Softaculous create and keep 5 backups? Or does it remove the previous backup each time?
Cheers,
Jason
