Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes. Akeeba-backup doc
Joomla! version:Joomla! 2.5.7 Stable
PHP version: 5.3.14
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: GoDaddy
Akeeba Backup version: Akeeba Backup Professional 3.6.5 (2012-09-14)

Attached is the GoDaddy CRON job Email received with the error in question.
[I COULD NOT attach the file since I kept getting a "Attachment upload error: Possible IE XSS Attack found." message on submitting the form.]

Description of my issue:

I setup a CRON job to run backup daily. The CRON email to me has the following error at the beginning. What does this mean? Are my backups including all files or not? How can I fix? Thanks very much.

You can ignore that message. The backup script works just fine.

Regarding the attachment, please note that the error you received doesn't seem to come from our site. Maybe you're using Internet Explorer and some kind of plug-in which blocks the upload?

I use Chrome. Not IE. Thanks again.

Ah, found it. That's a Joomla! security measure. I guess you were not attaching a ZIP file?

Yes. I was trying to attach a .txt file. Congrats.

That's why. The raw .txt file may contain text which triggers Joomla!'s upload protection. This is one of the reasons we are asking you to put the log in a ZIP file and attach that ZIP file instead of the raw log.
