backups work great just not restore points, i turned off restore points so i could update admin and backup tools then turned the plugin back on, would still be cool to know why it was doing it in the first place.

Akeeba Backup 3.6.0's System Restore Points feature was not compatible with PHP 5.2. That's why I released 3.6.1 yesterday night. It seems like the SimpleXML feature I was using was not documented as PHP 5.3 only but it was. Doh!
