Please go to your site's back-end, Components, Akeeba Backup. Click on Multiple Databases Definitions. You have an extra database defined there with invalid connection information. Click the trash can icon next to it. If you have more than one bad database definitions repeat the process until you've removed all of them. Now click on the "Control Panel" button and retry backup. The problem is solved.
