Hello,

looking at your log file, you're trying to backup the webstats folder.
This folder is usually reserved and protected by your server, since it contains the statistic of your site.
Please get inside Akeeba Backup Configuration page and tick the option Exclude host-specific stats folders. That should fix your problem.

Thanks for your reply, i have grayed out the xclude host-specific stats folders,
but the problem is not solved.

That's the problem. You have to check the option.
However you can easily solve it, by manually excluding the webstats folder from the File and Directory Exclusion page.

the xclude host-specific stats folders was checked in the first way, now checked again.
and exclude the webstat folder, the error is still there

You have to completely exclude the folder, not skip its contents.
Otherwise Akeeba Backup will try to get inside of it and the error is triggered.
Please completely skip the folder (first icon in the File Exclusion table) and try again.

As previously stated, I need the full text log, not the screenshot of the error.
You can find it inside the "View Log" page.
