Description of my issue:

Backup on Update is actually broke. Yes I understand the icon is not in the footer anymore. but when I ran my joomla update, no backup ran.

Akeeba Backup on Update is not actually on the Joomla update page as per the ticket: "#34682 – Akeeba Backup on Update Not Working" and @tampe125 response to it here: https://www.akeeba.com/support/akeeba-backup-3x/Ticket/34682:akeeba-backup-on-update-not-working.html#p191442

tampe125 says: "It's the intended behavior: it's no longer an icon that loads in every page, but it's a link inside the Joomla update page."

Not it's not. When I update from the Joomla update page I see no such Backup on Update link and when I did my Joomla update, no backup ran (J3.9.24 > j3.9.25).

Backup On Update is enabled in the plugins area.

Please look at BOU to see where it is failing. Thank you.

Also, When this was happening I was also getting this error during FOF extension updates:

```

Argument 1 passed to FOF30\Platform\Joomla\Platform::__construct() must be an instance of FOF30\Container\Container, instance of Akeeba\Backup\Admin\Container given, called in /home/ACCOUNTNAME/public_html/libraries/fof40/Container/Container.php on line 213

```

FOF4 issue?

Don't know if this causes BoU to not work during an Joomla update.

The Backup on Update plugin issue is a known one. We will release a new version to address it.

The other issue means that you have a much older plugin we have discontinued between 1 and 6 years ago. Please consult https://www.akeeba.com/news/1744-advice-for-install-probs-with-march-2021-software-releases.html
