Hi Overthere,
we're running Backup-Jobs via classic-cron. The jobs seem to run correctly when checking under "Manage Backups", but the archives dissappear afterwards.
The hoster febas.de isn't running any scripts (or so they told me)... Do you have any clue what's goin' on?
Best!

example Log attached
Let's take a look at your log (I have redacted the full paths):

As you can see, you have not set any post-processing i.e. you are not telling Akeeba Backup to move the files anywhere. Moreover, we can see that the quota management runs without deleting any files.
You say that you have checked that the backup files do not exist. This means that either you have set up some automation which deletes the backup archives, or the host has set up some automation which deletes the backup archives.
