iPhone 12 reset iself out of nowhere

I have an iPhone 12 Mini. Out of nowhere it reset itself today (it did NOT just reboot). My data that I have not yet backed up is lost. How does this happen?

In order to save drive space recent iOS backs are over-written, unless you manually alter the name or from Manage Backups Control click and “Archive” the backup.
