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: When I run a backup from a script using remote.phar the backup goes to the default destination folder instead of the one I set in the configuration. It initially creates a j01 file in the desired folder but it is only about 20b. It then creates a jpa in the default backup folder with the full backup in it. Two entries are created in the "Manage Backups" one pointing to the initialized file in the desired directory and identified as a remote backup. Another entry points to the actual backup file in the default directory and is identified as 'no description'. The file name has a time stamp 3 seconds later than the first initialized file.

I've attached all of the logs created in both the desired directory and the default directory. I've also attached a copy of the script.

Running a background backup using the same profile results in a backup in the desired directory and all appears normal.

I have uninstalled, deleted all files and tables and reinstalled with no change. This script has been running for a year or so with no problems.

This sounds like a very, very old version or Remote CLI which does not send the "backupid" parameter to the JSON API. Did you try re-downloading Remote CLI from our site?

That did it, thank-you. I still had a version in there from 2011.
