Description of my issue:

All my sites have the output directory set to [DEFAULT_OUTPUT]. Akeeba still shows the following error:  

Akeeba Backup is ready to backup your site, but there are potential issues

* Default output directory in use

Why?

Hello,

that's by design, Akeeba Backup will print out a warning if you use the default output folder. Here you can find more info about the topic: https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/warnings/q203.html

Thank you. I was using this for transportability (that is moving a site) but I see that I have a site root variable so I just need to create the same subdirectory in every site.
