Add-on only runs after initial config save or HA add-on restart

[derekcentrico]

Setup: I'm running add-on version "2024.6.0". I installed it with HA version 2024.6.1 and currently am running HA 2024.6.3. HA runs standalone on the Green.

Issue: The add-on will run just one time, either upon save of a new configuration -or- upon starting the add-on again from the INFO page. Nothing is automated like via cron or anything.

Add-on config:

remote_host: 192.168.1.4
remote_port: 22
remote_user: haosbackup
remote_key: ""
backup_friendly_name: true
backup_custom_prefix: Automated backup
backup_keep_local: "1"
ssh_enabled: true
ssh_remote_directory: automated_backups
rsync_enabled: false
rsync_rootfolder: hassio-sync
rsync_exclude:
  - /config/*.db-shm
  - /config/*.db-wal
  - /config/*.db
remote_password: admin

Screenshot of the add-on page showing it "red":

The last backup created was on "2024-06-20 11-33".

Not sure what I'm missing here?

Or, does this actually require an automation? I was working on the assumption an automation allows further backup refinement.
