I would suggest excluding the "agentsite" directory from the backup or at the very least the "agentsite/administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup" directory. The 2Gb files in it seem to be causing unnecessary bloat of your main site's backup archives, leading to your disk space running out and your backup failing.

You can exclude folders through the "Files and Directories Exclusion" feature of Akeeba Backup.
