Hello,
I'm getting lots of warnings in the email from my automated backup. This is just 1 example from 1 site but 3 other sites have the same warnings in the email.
Also I didn't get the emails at all from another 3 sites.

I haven't changed any settings and the problem appeared recently. It's been working fine before.
I'm using the "Native CRON script" option.

I've attached both a text file of the email and the command line backup log here (both zipped).

Hope you can help me find out what's wrong :-)

OMG, just realized I posted this in the wrong category (WP instead of Joomla). Is it possible to move it? Sorry.

It is no problem to move the ticket to another category.

Your attachments did not come through, so I am guessing. There was a session handling bug in Joomla! 3.4.7. We released Akeeba Backup 4.5.1 to work around those session bugs and allow CRON backups to work. The fix that we rushed out leaves session error messages in your CRON log that can safely be ignored.

Since the session bugs are fixed in Joomla! 3.4.8, we will remove the patch code in the next version and these messages will go away.

If I'm guessing wrong and that is not the message you are concerned about, please try to post your attachments again.

Thank you Dale,

Sorry, no, I'm using Joomla 3.4.8 and Akeeba Backup Pro 4.5.1.

I'm posting my attachments here again and hope it works this time.

Still no attachments. If you can not get the upload to work here, you can upload them to your site or to a file service like Dropbox and just post the link.

Hi Dale,
Sorry for my late answer. I'm not getting notifications when there is a reply to my ticket any more.

You are fine. The error messages are expected with Akeeba Backup 4.5.1. They are a legacy of the Joomla! problems in 3.4.7. Even though you have upgraded to 3.4.8, the code throwing the errors is still in Akeeba 4.5.1. It will go away with the next release of Akeeba Backup. Until then, they are just cosmetic errors that you can safely ignore.
