Hello,
There's a minor bug when using Options. Exiting by using Save & Close should return you to the AT dashboard, but you wind up in the site's frontend. Close works ok. This is Joomla 4 beta only.

This is a Joomla bug, not an Akeeba Backup bug.
The Options page is rendered by Joomla's com_config built-in component, as has been the case since Joomla 1.0 :)
All Joomla 4 beta versions published to this date have known annoying bugs regarding some backend actions which redirect to /index.php. If you play with J4 you'll find a lot of admin actions kicking you to the frontend.
This is outside our control. If Joomla fixes it, great. If it doesn't, well, it will be broken for everybody.

Ok. The reason why I reported this is that I have tested it in Akeeba Backup and the (few) other J4-ready extensions we have available, and I can't see this particular behaviour anywhere else. But I'm not a developer, and I take your word for it that this is a Joomla bug. Let's hope it'll get fixed before J4 release.
Have a nice day and thanks for your great extensions!

The Options button is not generated by Akeeba Backup. We are simply calling the Joomla API with:
ToolbarHelper::preferences('com_akeeba', '500', '660');
This is the exact same code all components, including Joomla's built-in ones, are using. It's been the same code since Joomla 1.5, actually! It's one of the very few things that haven't changed in ages.
As far as I can tell, this problem has been addressed in Joomla 4 Beta 3. That is, I cannot reproduce it on my dev site running Beta 3 with either mine or core components.

Ok, so you don't see this particular situation in Admin Tools. Sounds like a "come-and-go bug", those can be hard to track down. But anyway a Joomla bug.

Nope. Akeeba Backup, Admin Tools, Akeeba Ticket System, Akeeba LoginGuard, Akeeba DocImport, Akeeba DataCompliance, Akeeba Release System, Akeeba Subscriptions, Contact Us, our internal Compatibility page generator, they all work. As I said, there is nothing we can do in our own code to have any effect on what happens when you click on Save or Save & Close. The redirection URL is generated by Joomla's com_config. All I can think is a session issue but these tend to log you out (at least on Joomla 3; I haven't had the time to force a session issue on J4 and see how it behaves).
