Ok, two things to check. 1. Verify that the backup property in settings.json is a string with characters. If it is a string with zero length, backups will not happen. If it is a string with characters, an error will be thrown if the backup cannot be saved. You will see a line in the terminal that lists a 500 status code as well as an extra error message.
2. Backups only apply to single file wikis, not data folders. If the wiki is indicating that it got saved (i.e. the check mark turns grey) then it should have saved. And if it did save, then the backup saved as well. So check for errors in the terminal. Then see if your changes got saved. Then make sure that the backup property actually specified a folder. Hope that helps.
