The backup is done OK. In the log (Log leverl"Errors and warnings)in the component I see only these lines:

The times match the lines in the cron e-mail.

I think these are just the steps the backup process takes? Could you let me know if this is 'normal'. If so I can just ignore these cron e-mail I suppose.

Sorry for the lengthy post... Thanks!

The sequence of steps I see is perfectly normal and what would expect from a backup which runs properly. After each backup step is complete, it issues a redirection to go to the next step. Rinse and repeat until done, in which case it sends a 200 OK response. Yup, that's what's going on here so nothing to worry about. Yes, you can ignore this email sent by the CRON daemon on your site.
