Description of my issue:
I'm pretty sure this is something basic, but I'm having trouble getting the cron job to work. Using cpanel. /usr/local/bin/php/home/sevens/public_html/financealpha.com/administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup.php -profile=2

is the period in the financealpha.com directory causing a problem? or something else?

The result i'm getting by email is
/bin/sh: /usr/local/bin/php/home/sevens/public_html/financealpha.com/administrator/components/com_akeeba/backup.php: Not a directory

The site i'm trying to backup is not the only site in this account. each site has its own directory under public_html

You are just missing a space between php and /home ;)
