Description of my issue:

I have my command line backup scheduled to run twice a day.  For the past two weeks (or so) the command line backup has had a status of Failed everytime I look at the Akeeba Backup Control Panel.  

I can manually backup files, but the command-line option is failing.  I have attached the backup log and a screenshot of the Administer Backup Files page.

I read some of the other posts and I tried the suggestion to "Use database storage for temporary data" but that did not work.  Still have the problem.

What else do you suggest?

Thanks.

Your server forcibly terminates the CRON job after about 100 seconds. Please contact your host and ask them to lift this restriction from your account.

Thanks Nicholas.  Unfortunately Hostgator would not remove the CLI CRON restriction so I configured the alternative option to use the front-end process.  This seems to work.  

I'll let you know if I need anything else.  Otherwise this issue is closed.

Sorry to hear that yougot turned down by the host :( I'm glad that the alternative works. This is why I inisist on having multiple ways to do the same thing in my software. I'm a big fan of backup plans (no pun intended).
