EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue: When I switch to the standard Joomla installer it does not work. It still runs a backup even though it clearly states that it is in "Standard Installer" mode. The only way I can stop that from happening is to disable the restore and installer plugins completely.

Is your Joomla! cache enabled? Take a look in Global Configuration. If it's enabled you've hit a Joomla! bug. I fixed that bug a month ago, sent the patch to the Joomla! maintainers, it is already merged and will make it into Joomla! 3.4. In the meantime the only thing you can do is disable the System - System Restore Points plugin and clear Joomla!'s administrator cache afterwards.
