Hi Akeeba Backup Team,

In future versions or releases of Akeeba Backup Pro (current version is 3.6.12) you may add the ability to read and load the configuration.php file correctly even if located outside of the Joomla! installation webroot of the website?

I make this request because have the file configuration.php of Joomla! outside the webroot of Joomla! web site certainly does not solve the security problems but certainly slightly improves the security of the Joomla! websites and certainly increase even a little more security always better than not doing!

Some of your kind reply and your interest in this one request i wish you good day and good work.

Sincerely, Fabio Perri.

Got to www.dionysopoulos.me and read my latest three articles. That's why I will never implement a stupid feature which screws up your site and provides zero security.
