Just to be absolutely shure:
The profile setting in the automated backup is set with TWO dashes:
/cli/akeeba-backup.php --profile=2 --description="My automated backup"
But with the alternative backup:
https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/akeeba-backup-documentation/alternative-cron-script.html
You use a sngle dash:
/cli/akeeba-altbackup.php -profile=2
Is this correct or maybe a typo?
Thanks,
Dick
