I will need some more information:
- The exact Joomla! version ("latest" could mean 1.5.26, 2.5.6, 3.0-alpha2 or something different)
- Exact PHP version (PHP 4.2 has been discontinued about 6 years ago and Akeeba Backup certainly won't run on it)
- Exact Akeeba Backup version ("latest" can mean different things to each one of us)
- The backup log file from the Front-end origin, ZIPped and attached to this ticket
- Are you using sh404SEF, AceSEF or any other third party SEF extension?
- How are you running the front-end backup? Please also give the command line you are using, replacing your secret key with XXXXXX.

Hi,

Sorry I am using
Joomla!: 2.5.6,
PHP: 5.2.17,
Akeeba Backup Professional 3.6.3 (2012-08-24)
Command to back is: http://www.homebakedfood.co.uk/index.php?option=com_akeeba&view=backup&key=xxxxxxx

It appears that some front end backups are working see attached image but some are failing, I have an automated script which runs every 12 hours which calls the URL.

Regards
Julian

I suspect that your script does not follow 302 redirection headers, used to step through the backup as explained in the first paragraphs of our documentation. Since I don't have the actual script you're using, that's all I can assume.
