Akeeba has worked fine for a very long time. There have been no DB changes whatsoever since the last successful backup (week). The site in question is hosted by Bluehost.

Now I go to run and receive:

Failed Smart algorithm on Akeeba\Engine\Core\Domain\Db

Hello,

most likely there is an additional database in the backup profile you're using and the credentials used are not correct, hence the error.

Please get inside the Multiple Database Definition page, and review all the credentials. Are they correct?
