Description of my issue:

I had Akeeba backup working perfectly using the native cron and going to Amazon S3 early each morning. Then today I noticed that there hasn't been a backup since the morning of Feb 9. And when I click on Administer Backups there aren't even any failures, just not backup attempts at all since the 9ths. So I attempted a backup from the backend and it failed and gave me the Ajax error. I've had that happend before and know the routine, so I did the configuration wizard and saved the profile and tried again. Again it failed. I have been through the troubleshooting wizard and none of the other suggestions apply. I've looked through everything I can but I just don't know what the problem is. I am attaching the logs for both my failed attempt from the backend today Feb 14 and the successeful automated backup on Feb 9.

Thank you.

Also, since approximately the time of the last successful backup on the morning of the 9th, my cpu load has been running at 60 to 70%, when it usually runs at 10%. I'm trying to figure out why, but it's interesting that it starting around the same time that the cron backups stopped.

The cron daemon is running as my other crons are running.

I have plenty of disk space, I double checked that.

I have found the process that is causing the high cpu usage but I can't figure out what it is. I'm checking with a couple of my component tech supports to see if it is related them their components. I'll attach it for your as well. Maybe you take a look and see it it has anything to do with Akeeba or if you have any other idea what it is. It seems to run every few minutes but my other crons were all in place before this started so I don't think it's them. I'm looking at maybe some system plugins? Could it be a virus or a hacker?

Thanks

I don't have that plugin enabled.

I suspect I know what component it might be. I have a support ticket opened up with them so hopefully they will figure it out. And hopefully solving the CPU drain will solve Akeeba.

Thanks
