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 start the backup I see the following JS error popup in FireBug:

TypeError: a[l] is undefined
http://mydomain.com/media/com_akeeba/js/piecon.min.js?e8509d10cf10495383bbe12d7b8c2500
Line 2

The backup never starts although the AJAX calls keep going, it never goes anywhere. The response is always the same:
###{"HasRun":0,"Domain":"init","Step":"","Substep":"","Error":"","Warnings":[],"Archive":"","tag":"backend","Progress":0,"backupid":"id258","sleepTime":0,"stepNumber":1,"stepState":"running"}###

The debug log is also very short.

This may sound stupid, but do you have a favicon showing up in your site's back-end pages?

Yes, the default Joomla favicon is showing when not running a backup. The backup favicon shows as soon as I start a backup. I just downgraded to 4.0.5 and the backup ran without problems.

No idea. Piecon is one of the things I didn't touch at all. I tried adding calls to Piecon in try/catch statements just in case. Can you please try the latest dev release from https://www.akeebabackup.com/download/developer-releases/akeebapro.html where this change is included?

So I tried the latest dev release and the backup is working. Not sure what has been up but backup is running. Server having a bad day at the office?

My guess would be browser cache being really stuck, or a proxy server in between serving stale data.
