EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue:
I setup Akeeba backup pro to do a backup everyday at 12:00 am through watchful. The backups go to my remote Dropbox account. I have one site with the 1.5.26 version of Joomla making two backups each night instead of just one. Any help is appreciated.

We have stopped providing support for Akeeba Backup 3.4.3 more than 2 years ago. However, if this problem doesn't occur when you are taking a backup from the back-end of your site then the problem lies with Watchful.li, most likely they fail to see the backup termination message and tell Akeeba Backup to perform one more backup step, effectively restarting the backup.

If the problem does occur when you are taking a backup from the back-end of your site I recommend enabling the "Use database storage for temporary data" and unchecking all the boxes in the Fine Tuning area of the Configuration page of Akeeba Backup.
