Description of my issue:
Hello,
my backup starts with a CronJob from all-inkl.com. But it fail every time. The job starts correctly, the file is created in the folder //administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup, but only to 365 MB. Then the file deletes itself.

The backup from the backend ends correctly with 451 MB.

Thank you for answer.

It seems that your host terminates the CRON job after 2 minutes. Can you please ask your host if they have a time limit for their CRON jobs and, if they do, if they can lift it?

Thank you for answer.
If i start the URL for the Cronjob manually in Google Crome, then it fails.
If i start the URL in the InternetExplorer manually, it works correct.

Is this the same reason?

As per our documentation, the legacy front-end backup mode will NOT work reliably with browsers. We also do explain why. Please read our documentation.
