EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue: I downloaded and extracted a jpa on my desktop but I do not see the database in there, only the files. The log says it got the database. Where is it?

The database is in installation/sql. Normally, you don't need to know that. Restoring an Akeeba Backup archive doesn't require mucking around with your database. It's all GUI-driven. So, what are you trying to do? If you tell me, I can at least point you to some more accurate information regarding what you're trying to achieve :)
