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:

My backup fails at a certain point. See attached image.

Also attached my log file.

Eddie,

The log file you posted is not quite what I need. That is a scratch file that contains some entries that we don't want to junk up the real log with. The actual log name would be in the format akeeba.backend.idxxx.log or akeeba.frontend.log or akeeba.cli.log. The front end and cli backups do not have id numbers for technical reasons.

In your screen shot, the last server response was only 4 seconds previously. Are you sure the backup has quit? The screen shot shows that the developer of your mod_camera extension has done evil things. He/she has put cache data inside the module's folder. It belongs in the Joomla! cache folder. We don't back that folder up, since cache data really isn't needed after a restore anyway. If there are many files in that cache folder, you may need to exclude the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) from the backup. That's just a guess, I need the log file to be sure.
