Note: The Lazy Scheduling plugin is no longer supported as per our documentation.

Note 2: Joomla! 1.5.6?! Not only is this Joomla! version not supported by Akeeba Backup, it is ancient and vulnerable. It's a huge surprise that your site works on PHP 5.3.13, as Joomla! 1.5.14 and earlier are incompatible with PHP 5.3. Maybe you're mistaken and it's Joomla! 1.5.26? I'm just curious.

Regarding this warning message, you can simply ignore it. It is a minor cosmetic bug in Akeeba Backup 3.4.3, fixed in 3.5.0.
