If you do not have access to your site's administrator backend, you can still retrieve your backup configuration via the CLI. From the cli directory of your site run:
php joomla.php akeeba:option:list --profile=1 --format=csv > options.csv
Replace --profile=1 with the numeric ID of the profile you want to inspect. The resulting CSV file contains all configuration option keys and their current values.
Alternatively, if you have direct database access, the raw configuration is stored in the #__akeebabackup_profiles table. Each row corresponds to one profile; the configuration column holds the settings as a JSON document. Note that if you have enabled settings encryption the JSON contents will be encrypted and unreadable without the encryption key.
