PVE runs a bunch of backups after unscheduled power cycle

I have a 3 node cluster with HA off. It runs pretty well and does as expected most of the time except when power goes out. Anytime the cluster has an unexpected power cycle or outage (like losing power to the office), when the systems come back online, Proxmox VE starts a surge of backups of a bunch of VMs and containers. Even if the cluster was only off for a few minutes (and those minutes weren't during a time backup was meant to happen).
Is there any reason for this to happen? What might be causing it?
