Do you have any other backup profiles set up on your site? If not, please go to Akeeba Backup, Profiles Management and try creating a new profile. If that fails, you will have to perform some manual work. Remove the following folders:
- administrator/components/com_akeeba EXCEPT the administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup directory and the administrator/components/com_akeeba/akeeba/serverkey.php file. If you remove that directory and that file you will lose your existing backups and/or settings.
- components/com_akeeba
- administrator/modules/mod_akadmin
- media/com_akeeba
- plugins/system/plg_srp
- plugins/system/plg_akeebaupdatecheck
- plugins/system/plg_aklazy
- plugins/system/plg_oneclickaction
Now you can re-install Akeeba Backup and the necessary tables should be created afresh.

OK, it wasn't Akeeba breaking. Akeeba was getting the SQL errors introtext and fulltext fields didn't existing in the ak_profiles table.. Is this a Joomla bug? I have run into this before.

This table is supposed to have neither an introtext nor a fulltext field. There is no code in Akeeba Backup to reference either field. I believe you have a third party plugin which is not working properly.
