Im now getting the 'invalid Ajax data' error at the end of a backup. This only started after upgrading to Akeeba pro yesterday, was working great when using Akeeba core previously. I attached the log file (since you guys seem to be so much quicker at spotting the obvious) but I didn't notice anything obvious in it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks again.

The reason you see so many "Invalid AJAX data" messages is that it is a very generic message. All it really says it that something went wrong, there are many things that can cause it. We should get a little more variety in the 3.1 series, Nicholas has built in some better error reporting.

Actually, the backup stops while dumping the database, so it wasn't nearly finished. I've seen this before, but I don't remember what Nicholas did to fix it. :( I'll flag this for his attention.

Thanks dlb, but if I may ask, what in the log makes it look like it stopped while dumping the database? If I turn post-processing off (Amazon S3), the backup finishes just fine, no errors.

UPDATE: it seems now the backup is finishing (no invalid AJAX errors) but stops at post-processing giving this error.....

Warnings
Failed to process file /home/xxxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/xxxxxxx/site-domain.com-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxx.jpa
Post-processing interrupted -- no more files will be transferred

Any ideas

The post-processing error usually indicates a wrong setup of the S3 keys, or an attempt to use an invalid bucket or directory name. Akeeba Backup 3.1.rc1 is much better at reporting the actual error which occurred. With 3.0.1 I can't really tell what the problem is.

Regarding your other problem, given its intermittent nature I would first make sure that there is enough disk space on the account and check with the host that there is no query limit per hour which might cause the backup to crash.
