Please look at the bottom of this page (under Support Policy Summary) for our support policy summary, containing important information regarding our working hours and our support policy. Thank you!

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue:

When I do a backup on the Joomla 4 version of Akeeba, once it's complete, I get left at a page that, apart from using the back arrow, has no way to return to the Joomla dashboard (see attachment). Is this expected behavior?

Hello,

I guess you're right, there's no "back" button. We will add it back in the next version

Something else that would be nice if "Backup Now!" link in the Components menu of Akeeba actually went immediately to backup. Of course, that would require a normal "Backup" item to go to where the current "Backup now" link goes to (the Akeeba dashboard).

I'm sorry but that's not possible, since you could have more than one backup profile.

However, Joomla allows you to create custom backend menus. We do allow you to create a menu item to immediately start a backup with a specific profile. I guess that should fulfill your needs.
