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:

Version 4.7.0 purged the MySQL database of all Joomla & extension update information, including Update Sites. MyPHP showed that the relevant table row needed repair, so I executed the repair command. No joy.

The system Control Panel shows that Joomla is up to date and that all extensions are up to date, but when I open Joomla Update from the Components menu, this error message is returned:
1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 SQL=UPDATE `#__update_sites` SET `last_check_timestamp`='0',`location`='http://update.joomla.org/core/list.xml' WHERE


Okay, so what now? If I remove the site and restore using an Akeeba backup, I lose some members who joined recently. And, no, I should backup each and every time a new member joins, but I didn't. Mea culpa. I trusted things to continue to work as they have worked.

I've attached the Alice log that resulted when I ran Configuration after updating to Akeeba Backup 4.7.0.
