Under Akeeba pro 9.5.1 backup works fine.

Then I update Akeeba pro to 9.6.0

The backup now fails in the initial fase, tries to resume 3 times and stops working.

In attachement:

Akeeba log file

System config (json)

Screen capture of fail-screen

Screen capture of "manage backups"

No log file was uploaded, but let's try something first.

Install Akeeba Backup 9.6.0 twice in a row, without uninstalling it before or in between.

If this does not help, please put your latest log file in a ZIP file. If the file is bigger than 5MiB please upload it to a third party service such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or something similar and paste a link to it here.

The new installation of V9.6.0 on top of the existing did not solve the problem.

It looks like you have a 32-bit build of PHP. Ugh, Synology. They do some pretty weird things with their PHP builds.

I have added a workaround which should allow you to run backups β€” as long as all your files are under 2GiB. Basically, I detect 32-bit builds and fall back to the old, pre-9.6.0 JPA format which did not support individual files which are 2GiB or larger.

You can download and install the latest development build fromΒ https://www.akeeba.com/download/akeebabackuppro-dev/9-6-1-dev202305150939-rev8929552.html

With the V9.6.1dev package, backup is functioning again.

Added the corresponding log.php file to the G-drive repositiory.

Thanks for your support.

PS: Will log a ticket with Synology, but they will probably catalog this a future feature request.

Synology is notoriously slow in providing up-to-date PHP versions.

I think it actually depends on the NAS model. If you have a 32-bit processor you cannot run a 64-build of PHP.

Some of Synology's lower end NAS have 32-bit ARM processors. Some older lower–end NAS have old Celeron processors which only support 32-bit code. I suspect this is the case with your NAS.

For what it's worth, the Synology DS218+ we have at the office has a 64-bit build of PHP. Its processor is an Intel Celeron J3355 which does support 64-bit code, and DSM on this NAS is indeed 64-bit.

I honestly could not find anything with a 32-bit processor, or at least able to run a 32-bit OS, to test Akeeba Backup 9.6.0 with. That's why there was no 32-bit support; it was something I could not test. The fix I made was basically me working blind, just based on the scant information of the error message you got. I am glad I could get it right the first time :)

I have a Synology DS416 with an ARMv7 CPU = 32bit
