Description of my issue:
I have the Pro version and my Download ID is set up in Live Updates. My dashboard is displaying an update notice and button to update to Akeeba 4.7.3. However when I reviewed the version notes, they stated that 4.7.3 is not for the software versions that I'm running:
If you have Joomla! 3.4 or later and PHP 5.4 or later please use Akeeba Backup 5.x. This version of Akeeba Backup (4.7.x) will only receive very irregular security fixes but NO bug fixes or new features. This version of Akeeba Backup is only published for people managing older sites so that they can back them up before upgrading them. Any other use is strongly NOT recommended!
My backups are generating increasingly more errors--

Table row count
You are trying to backup tables with a lot of rows (more than 1 million):
Table #__redj_referers 1,303,217 rows
Table #__redj_visited_urls 1,262,061 rows
Large files issues
The following files are too big and can cause backup issues:
File: <root>/templates/***/images/elements/pattern_12.png 22.38 Mb
File: <root>/templates/***/images/elements/pattern_15.png 10.98 Mb

Also, I'm concerned about having to manually update to Akeeba 5.1.1 and whether there's a fix to get the live update button to serve the correct Akeeba version. Please advise about the errors and updating. Log file attached.
