SUMMARY
save incremental backup creates one backup on first save then on later save incremental backup it does not create further files like this page explains
https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual/autosave.html#incremental-backup-files

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.create new file  
2.save file (1.kra)
3.save incremental backup (1~000.kra created)
4.change something (draw a stroke) and save the file
4.save incremental backup (nothing happens per the documentation 1~001.kra should be created) 

OBSERVED RESULT
only one backup is created

EXPECTED RESULT
multiple numbered backup files should be created with each operation
