Please file your ticket in English. None of us speaks German and Google Translate doesn't help much. Moreover, in order to be able to help you, we need you to provide the backup log file. Thank you.

Please click the 'Analyse Log' button below have Akeeba Backup analyse its log file for further information.

Following the suggestions of ALICE, our log analyser, may not be enough. The automatic log analyser cannot cover all possible problem cases. We strongly recommend going through the step-by-step instructions in our troubleshooting wizard to easily resolve this issue yourself.

If this doesn't help, please do not hesitate to ask for support in our support ticket system. Do note that you need an active subscription to request assistance through the ticket system. If Akeeba Backup Professional was installed on your site by a third party -e.g. your web developer- please do not contact AkeebaBackup.com for support. Instead, contact the person who installed the software on your site and request assistance to solve this issue. If you do post to our ticket system, please remember to ZIP and attach your backup log file in your post so that we can help you faster.

Normally I also need the backup log file. However, since I've seen other sites with a similar issue, I can propose a solution. Please go to the Configuration page and change the File Scanner Engine to Large Sites. Click on Save & Close and take a new backup.

If the backup succeeds, please go back to the Configuration page and change the File Scanner Engine to Smart Scanner. Click on Save & Close and take a new backup. Let me know if this second backup worked or if it resulted in a 500 error. If it failed, please send me your backup log file. I want to determine exactly why this happens on some sites but not on any of our test and development servers.
