7.System – Akeeba Backup

Note

Displayed on the Plugin Manager as System - Akeeba Backup.

This plugin checks for and displays a warning when restoration leftovers from Akeeba Backup's restoration script (ANGIE) are detected on your site. Specifically, it alerts you when the installation folder is still present under your site root after a restoration, which is a security risk.

The plugin is published automatically when Akeeba Backup is installed. It should remain published at all times. Unpublishing it means you will no longer receive the restoration-leftovers warning, which could leave your site exposed if you forget to remove the installation folder after restoring a backup.
