First, the file should be akeeba-backup.php. That is with a dash, not an underscore, between the two words. The file should be located inside the cli directory in your site's root.

If you don't see that file, please download the installation ZIP archive of Akeeba Backup Professional (not Core) from our download page and reinstall it on your site without removing your existing Akeeba Backup installation. Then perform the installation a second time, again without removing your existing Akeeba Backup installation. This is required to work around a Joomla! issue where it forgets to copy some files the first time you install the Professional version. Now check again in your site's cli directory. The file should be there.
