Trying a backup I get this message:

Please advice.

Go to the Configuration page of your backup profile and uncheck the “Archive integrity check” box.

Please remember that the “Archive integrity check” feature only makes sense when you are creating backup archive files. You have chosen the backup type “Main site database only (SQL file)” which generates a .sql file. This is a text file. It's not an archive. There is no concept of integrity on a text file. That's why you're getting an error. You are essentially asking Akeeba Backup to do something impossible and it dully informs you that it has, indeed, failed to do the impossible.
