Akeeba backup hangs part way through the backup

Looks like it is at '50%'
I didn't note any change in the indicator that showed which files were being backed up.

Alice Report is:
------ BEGIN OF ALICE RAW OUTPUT -----
Additional database - Wrong access details
Could not detect the used profile, test skipped

Additional database - Joomla database inclusion
Could not detect the used profile, test skipped

Fatal errors
The following fatal error happened while taking a backup. Please review and fix it before continuing:
Unreadable file . Check permissions. Your archive is corrupt!

------ END OF ALICE RAW OUTPUT -----

I thought that the error was owing to a very large file, I deleted that and the backup seemed to proceed further (to 74%)
However it still threw an error as before

There is a known issue in Akeeba Backup 5.2.0 and 5.2.1 regarding the ZIP archiver. Please try using the JPA archiver engine instead. A new version will be released this week to address this issue.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Changing temporarily to JPA format worked OK
