Joomla! version: was 2.5.1 now 1.6.3 ?????????
PHP version: php5.2.17
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: Midphase
Akeeba Backup version: 3.3.a3

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 had a fresh install of a Joomla2.51 site and everything was fine. I just received an email about an update to Akeeba - so I clicked and tried to install. There was some error so I went to the extension manager and checked for updates - there were 2 for Akeeba, 2 for gantry and joomla2.5.2 --- so I updated Akeeba. Then my site reverted to a 1.63 site (I have one but in a different folder). I tried to use akeeba backup to go to yesterdays backup but it failed. (attached is screenshot of failure) I have a log file (the only one available) but it refers to a 3-1-12 backup of joomla 1.63 that was before I created this joomla2.5.1 site. I do see a jpa file on my site that is the correct backup (date/size look good). Also if I try to open my site frontend I get the following error message:Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /home/wwwhoney/public_html/plugins/system/highlight/highlight.php on line 44

What do I do now, Bill

Could this have caused an issue: I have an existing site made with dreamweaver that is active along with my new joomla2.5 site in the same root. Everything was working fine. I wanted to avoid any issues in the future with transferring a site from a folder to the root. I have a joomla1.63 site in a folder (it had issues - that is why I did not finish it) (there is still a database associated with it) and also some joomla sites (with databases gone) buried in other folders. Should I delete these extra installations?

Note - because I had previous problems with joomla - I was had been taking daily or even more frequent backups. This site is only 3-4 days old (even though a lot of work was done on it) and I did not TEST the backups I was taking.

I did delete some previous installs and databases not used and then successfully restored the site using kickstart. There were a few "moments" when it said I was restoring to a different location, and some "Ajax" error - but I did get the site back. I updated joomla and gantry (after backing up) but could not update Akeeba - using the joomla updater - I keep getting an error - see attachment.

I still had problems updating but eventually just downloaded the 3.4 version and installed it over the other one and everything is fine now.

Thank you
