Description of my issue:
Hi,
I have the same problem as found here: https://www.akeebabackup.com/component/ats/ticket/akeeba-backup-3x/13186-hang-at-updating-statistics-during-backup.html but for joomla 2.5.6. The backup hangs at the end when "Updating the statistic".
What is strange is that i did a fresh install. And indeed the problem was that the tables were not created.
But i would like to add to the solution given in the other post, that reinstalling did not do it for me. I had to uninstall the component and reinstall it. Then it worked right away.
It was ok for me to uninstall the extension as i had no previous important backup to keep. But keep in mind that your backup will be deleted if you uninstall Akeeba Backup.
A bit strange but can be fixed easily.
@dev: i really don't understand how this happened. I started with a fresh install of joomla 2.5.6, built my site and then install akeeba 3.6.1 to backup so i can upload it.
