Description of my issue:

My daily Joomla backup is done by command line, the only option I have with my host. It always worked and never had any issue except for yesterday. I did read the log file, there are some errors but I can't make sense about it. Thank you for your support and your time to investigate this matter.

There are two possibilities:
- You are running our of disk space; or
- Your host allows each CRON job to run for a maximum of 2 minutes.

Considering that the backup is stopped without an error at exactly 2 minutes since it started I think it's the latter. Please check with your host.
