Hi,  
Using PG Opertor 2.3.1 Postgresql 15  
I was testing a backup cleaning script during which the PerconaPGBackup suddenly stopped creating backup jobs.  
It is unknown when the issue happened but I think it was possibly during some mistakes when the script deleted some PerconaPGBackups that were not completed  
It is useless to post the script code because I don’t know during which change this happened  
Every PerconaPGBackup looks like this now, without a job created:

```auto
apiVersion: pgv2.percona.com/v2
kind: PerconaPGBackup
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: '2024-08-28T06:49:25Z'
  generateName: service-1-pg-db-repo2-incr-
  generation: 1
  managedFields:
    - apiVersion: pgv2.percona.com/v2
      fieldsType: FieldsV1
      fieldsV1:
        f:metadata:
          f:generateName: {}
        f:spec:
          .: {}
          f:options: {}
          f:pgCluster: {}
          f:repoName: {}
      manager: postgres-operator
      operation: Update
      time: '2024-08-28T06:49:25Z'

```

Hello @mboncalo

> I was testing a backup cleaning script during which the PerconaPGBackup suddenly stopped creating backup jobs.

Check Operator logs for any errors for backup jobs.

Also, Check below things for backup Pod/Job,  
List backups:  
`kubectl get pg-backup`

Get backup pods and check logs to see why it’s failing.

```auto
kubectl get pods

kubectl logs <failed backup pod>

```

You try taking a simple on-demand backup as described here if you are testing on-demand backup and see how it works,

> **[Percona Operator for PostgreSQL - Make on-demand backup](https://docs.percona.com/percona-operator-for-postgresql/2.0/backups-ondemand.html)**
>
> To make an on-demand backup manually, you need a backup configuration file. You can use the example of the backup configuration file deploy/backup.yaml :

Do you see any backup job related error/message in the Operator log ?
