EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue:
When I set my output directory to a new I can save without errors. But when I leave akeeba and come back the default directory is set again.
The new folder has enough rights and is located on level below my website directory, but one level higher than the server root.
I tried different things, without success.

Are you always looking at the same backup profile?
Set the Output Directory, clicking on Save & Close, then click again the Configuration. Is the directory saved?
Do you have the same issue saving any other setting or is it just the Output Directory?

Thats strange. Tested it today again and now it worked. I don't know why.

There is an explanation – albeit it's a long shot. Browsers do cache Javascript files. It's possible that after a while the broken, cached Javascript file expired and the browser downloaded the new one, therefore fixing the issue you had.
