I believe you are still using 9.0.2. In version 9.0.3 we stopped using the Joomla filesystem API and moved everything back to built-in PHP with a fallback to the Joomla Filesystem API which has this particular bug.

Hi Nicholas,
No to bad, i just downloaded it an hour ago and i went from an 8 version to the 9.0.3.
So maybe having an 8 version on the site could cause it?
I could delete all akeeba stuff and reinstall.

In 9.0.3 this would only happen if you have unwritable folders i.e. administrator/components/com_akeebabackup/engine is unwritable. In this case we fall back to Joomla's Filesystem API which has a bug that will throw this error. Namely, when it thinks that a folder is missing (most likely because of open_basedir restrictions) it will try to create it. If it cannot create it OR detects that its parent folder is the same as the folder it tries to create it displays the infinite loop error. This is a bug, it's easily preventable, or would have been easily preventable if the core developers had any experience whatsoever dealing with live sites. This bug did not exist in Joomla 3, the error was silently suppressed.

Hi Nicholas,
Great that you answer so fast and thorough :-)
I have check admin tools and my ftp but the engine folder is 755 as it should be right?
Just removed all Akeeba backup stuff.
Fully reinstalled and again the issue appeared.
Any suggestion?

Install the following dev release https://www.akeeba.com/download/developer-releases/akeebabackuppro-dev/rev5cf7b7e.html
This uses the same code we had in Akeeba Backup 8.

I obviously mean the same code we had in Akeeba Backup 8 for generating the encryption key which is what was calling Joomla's broken CMS Filesystem API in Akeeba Backup 9. Note to self, do not trust Joomla with any code which is important to run on a real world site, it's not a given that it will work :(

Awesome! Thank you for the feedback. I was 99.999% certain where the problem was, but it was essentially a blind fix as I cannot reproduce it on any of my servers. Having independent confirmation of the fix is great :)
