Hello,
I have several sites in automatic backup, when a new version of akeeba arrives, the cron tasks are executed with status 200 but the message says that the version of akeeba is too old.


I do not receive a cron error from my server since the answer is 200, so the backups are not carried out without me being informed.


Is there a solution to be informed? Receive an email when an akeeba update is released? Where can Akeeba send an email when a cron backup attempt fails?


thank you in advance

Hello,

please update to the latest version of Akeeba Backup.

In the latest versions we removed such check since sometimes it's ok to have an older version running on a site.

Hello,


if I understood correctly (with my low level of English), I would no longer have to update the sites with the new version of akeeba?

So I keep my subscription just for new site creations, good news then, it will make me a lot less work.

Thanks

mhm... no.

In previous version the frontend backup was automatically blocked if your version was older than 120 days. In the new version we removed this block, since sometimes it's ok to have an older version running.

However, you should always keep your Akeeba Backup up to date since we constantly fix small issues or add support for new features.
