You appear to have modified the Date Format in the component options (see https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/akeeba-backup-joomla/editing-components-parameters.html#component-options-backend) but entered the date format as HH:ii:ss which is wrong.

As per the PHP manual, a single uppercase letter H prints the “24-hour format of an hour with leading zeros”. If you put it twice, it prints this information twice. Same for i and s.

Your backup was taken at 04:08:23 UTC. This time formatted with the date format H:i:s prints 04:08:23. The same time formatted with the date format string HH:ii:ss prints 0404:0808:2323 which is exactly what you got.

Solution: either remove completely what you entered (so that Akeeba Backup can use Joomla's default date format), or enter the string H:i:s to print the date correctly.

Side note: The default Joomla! date/time format string is actually a language string. Namely, it's the language string with the key DATE_FORMAT_LC4. Normally, this is set to Y-m-d, thus printing the year (as four digits), month, and day of the week with leading zeroes. If you have overridden this language string to HH:ii:ss then Joomla tells Akeeba Backup that the default format string is your (incorrect) override when the Date Format in Akeeba Backup's Options page is blank. If this is what you've done you should kindly note that you have broken the date display across your entire site, wherever the default date format string DATE_FORMAT_LC4 is used by any core Joomla! or third party component, therefore you need to rectify this in the language overrides of your site.

You're welcome!
