Description of my issue:
I am currently doing a lot of backups as I am still developing my site. I notice that as of today I have 5 backups taken between 8 and 18 August, but only the three most recent are shown as OK. I am using the same release of Joomla and Akeeba backup, so there should not be any compatibility problem. Is there a limit to the number of files on the free version?

My fall-back policy - if all else fails go back to an early backup and now do it properly - will need rethinking if there is some sort of limit.

I attach a log file in case it is of use.

Thanks in anticipation!

There is no limitation to the number of backup archives you can keep. Have you checked your quota limits in Akeeba Backup's configuration page?
