None of my saves are coming up since installing the update. What should I do?

There haven't really been any changes to the save data template for the game since 2.X. Are you using any savedir option to point the game to a different folder? Are the profile files themselves in the save data folder? If so, send me one of them to analyze and make sure your save data folder matches any savedir location you may have specified, if not default.

I just noticed that the saves themselves aren't even in the default folder anymore. I had some back ups on a flash drive that work now but still weird that something erased the originals, I certainly didn't.

Yeah, even when the game itself 'deletes' them, it doesn't physically delete them, it just renames them to 'bak' files in case you want to restore them later. Not sure what could have happened outside of the save data folder getting changed/moved or something else on the system that decided to remove the files. Glad you had a backup.

I always wondered why some profiles had backup files but not others. Learned something new today.
