Mandatory information about my setup:
Default settings, added the Quick setup settings and the htaccess file.

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.4
PHP version: 5.158
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)
Admin Tools version: 2.25

Description of my issue:
I had XClone installed. After making the .htaccess file the component did not work. With the instructions (download chrome, open up the admin and Ctrl + Shift + J) I could find some errors, so I added these lines to the htaccess file:
administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/browser/files_xml.php
administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/index.php
administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/index2.php
Now the component started up. Yet the backups are not OK. Most files are missing. And trying to download a backup made with XClone caused a time-out of the index2.php.
Does anybody know the correct settings for XClone to work correclty?

Most likely you have to add the administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore directory to the "Allow direct access, including .php files, to these directories" area in the .htaccess Maker configuration. Obviously, I have not used XCloner myself as I am the developer of a competitive backup component, Akeeba Backup. I also don't like the approach of having an external application running inside my site, but that's another story and I'd rather not get started as there is an obvious conflict of interest here :)
