Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? No
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.4
PHP version:

Host:
Akeeba Backup version: 3.5.0

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:
My AB 3.5 cron jobs are failing and need to be updated per this change:

"This file was found in administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup.php in Akeeba Backup 3.0.x up to and including 3.4.x. Since Akeeba Backup 3.5 this file is now present under cli/akeeba-backup.php."

I was going to update the cron jobs to point to the new file but unfortunately the file doesn't exist in the cli directory. I did a quick look in the AB component directory to try and copy it over but couldn't find it there either. This is the same on all my AB 3.5 sites.

Could you tell me where to find this file.

Thanks for your help.

Please install Akeeba Backup Professional 3.5.0 again on top of your existing installation without uninstalling your existing version. If the file in question is still not in the cli directory of your site, please extract the com_akeeba-3.5.0-pro.zip file and copy the two .php files from the extracted cli directory into your site's cli directory. In case that last step is necessary, you may have to enable Joomla!'s FTP options in global configuration or change the ownership and/or permissions of your site's cli directory so that future versions of Akeeba Backup can install updated versions of those CLI files.
