I noticed that when backups repeatedly fail, leaving a partial backup, the backup number gets sequentially incremented each time.
This leaves potentially large gaps in the backup number sequence, particularly if the same failure occurs on each hourly backup attempt. Backups can fail for minor reasons such as a slight misconfiguration in the config file, missing backup directory/share, a network disconnect, and many others. It seems like the *right* behavior would be to *not* increment each partial... and then when a success does occur it should inherit the same number as the most recent (failed) partial which in turn should be one more than the last successful backup.
