I believe you are talking about this:
You are using the DirectFTP archiver engine which is used to transfer all of your site's files to a remote FTP server. Apparently, you just wanted a backup, not a site transfer. Go to Akeeba Backup, go to the Configuration page and set the Archiver Engine to JPA. Then retry backing up.
