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:

Somehow I skipped the Custom fields:
I red the forum
Joomla : 2.5.24
Akeeba: 3.11.4
PhP : 5.3.3
MySQL : 5.0.83
Host: 2Tcoud ( shared linux hosting)

I have a dozen sites running Akeeba Backup with CLI on the same platform. For months, everything runs OK, but suddenly all back-up jobs stopped suddenly with error “Failed” There are back-up files but they are less than 1Mb instead of 50MB. Manual backups run fine. I asked the host for help , he gave me this comment , removed the temp files, but still the CLI does not run correctly

I am aware of that, the Host promised an update soon. It worked fine for an long time, I did;t change anything on the site itself, do you think an update will solve the problem ?

hello Nicholas,

The problem is solved by the hoster. There was an issue with the cron table.
