Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? No
Have I searched the tickets before posting? No
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? No
Joomla! version: (unknown)
PHP version: (unknown)
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)
Akeeba Backup version which took the backup: (unknown)
Kickstart version used to extract the backup: (unknown)

Description of my issue:

I did read an issue on this but it said that the site would extract but give errors, but as per the included screen shot, mine does not go pass step 1 and gives an error trying to write to the directory. This is not an uncommon thing to do, so I would assume I am missing a point, maybe with the packing in the first place.

Just went to attach screenshot but could not see where to do that at :) Having a good day....

Cheers

Ah, just found it....

Thankyou, I try not to waste your time, and so did read that, but did not pickup that it was exactly the same problem, but was going to try the ftp method tonight. I guess in all the time I have used akeeba, I have never had a problem to ask about before :)
Will close when it is finished, if not will let you know what happened. Forced into moving the site as the host refuses to upgrade php from 5.2
