ALICE Login Analysis: 

The following fatal error happened while taking a backup. Please review and fix it before continuing:
Couldn\'t write to the archive file; check the output directory permissions and make sure you have enough disk space available. [len=945137 / 1048576]

I have no idea what to do. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Hello,

this means that Akeeba Backup wasn't able to dump all the data back to disk. In 95% of the cases this happens because there isn't any space left, you should contact your host and report the problem.

If it's possible, you can try to delete some old backups to confirm this issue.

Deleting older Backup-Files solved the problem easily. Thank you for your fast and efficient support.
