Hello Sascha,

what's your hosting provider? Are you using a Synology NAS, ie a site with a domain like dummy.synology.me?

Hello,

we just discovered an issue with CLI backups when your Joomla version is lower than 3.5.
A new version will be released very soon.

There's no need to contact your host, I identified the issue and I already developed a fix.
A new version should be deployed very soon, however if you are in hurry you can download the latest dev release and install it.
Please note that dev release are quite unstable and not fully tested, so you could incur in bugs
