Description of my issue:
Hi everybody, as it seems my hosted does not support the nativ cron job. So I tried to find another way to automize my backup. I found the following script:
<?php
define('SITEURL', ''); // Base URL of your site
define('SECRETKEY', ''); // Your secret key
define('PROFILE',2); // The profile's ID

// ====================== DO NOT MODIFY BELOW THIS LINE ==================
$curl_handle=curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_URL,
SITEURL.'/index2.php?option=com_akeeba&view=backup&key='.
SECRETKEY.'&format=raw&profile='.PROFILE.'&format=raw');
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,TRUE);
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS,10000); # Fix by Nicholas
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
if (empty($buffer))
echo "Sorry, the backup didn't work.";
else
echo $buffer;
?>
but I get the sorry .... message.
Could you help me with that problem?

I have now tried another script:

<?php
exec("env -i /usr/bin/php5 -f /www/htdocs/w00ecd41/CMS/cli/akeeba-altbackup.php&profile=2 2>&1", $out, $result);
echo "Returncode: " .$result ."<br>";
echo "Ausgabe des Scripts: " ."<br>";
echo "<pre>"; print_r($out);

?>

and also have some log files:

problem is solved now: it was a max execution time problem!
