This warning is appearing in a number of my sites. Clicking the link points to an obsolete article about using the default backup directory. None of my sites use the default - I have a directory outside public_html, yet this warning persists.
What am I doing wrong? Or is it because it's outside the root? [ROOTPARENT]/akeeba_backup_temp
It links to https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/warnings/q204.html Please read it. The implication is: if the backup runs fine, nothing to worry about.
