I have a problem on a domein with creating a backup. The backup size is only 420kb but completes without errors.

Attached the LOG file containing the backup. The site is on beukelaer.fourmedia.nl

Would love to hear the problem / solution. Did reinstalled Akeeba couple of times.

None of your site's files have been backed up. This happens because you have set your site's temporary directory to point to your site's root and Akeeba Backup automatically excludes all contents of your temporary directory. Having your site's root as the temp-directory of your site is extremely insecure!!! Please go to your site's Global Configuration and change the path to the temp-directory.
