Please note that extension installation, update, and uninstallation is handled by Joomla itself, with code written by and maintained by Joomla. We have no say on it.
That said, your error message complains about a database column called name. There is no such column in the #__menu table. There is such a column in the #__extensions table, but Joomla's core code is supposed to fill that in with the slug of the component it's installing (in this case com_admintools and com_akeebabackup). This is not something we control, that's part of how Joomla's extensions installer works the past 18 years.
It looks like something is very much broken on your site. Have you accidentally mixed files from different Joomla versions? Have you modified any core Joomla files yourself?
