Hello,

I'd strongly suggest to update your PHP version. If you site was running with PHP 7.0, there's a 95% chance it will run smoothly with PHP 7.1, too.
Most of the disruptive changes were made in version 7, so you should good to go.

If you really can't update your PHP version, you can simply install Akeeba Backup 7.1.4 and you should be good to go, there's no need to uninstall. It's a bit risky, this is why I strongly suggest you to upgrade your PHP version. It's a faster and safest solution.
