Remote Control: 4.0.3 (Mac version)

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach the Remote Control and Akeeba Backup log files if you are reporting an Akeeba Remote Control issue, othrewise we can not help you

Description of my issue:

Hi,
I run remote control on my Mac. With 1 site I have the issue that the site wil continu backing up. Even when I abort the backup process, after about a minute it will start up again by itself.
I run about 30 sites with RC and in general it works fine, though it regularly crashes, but that's a minor problem.
Extra info: it's the only site that still runs with legacy mode turned on. (Yes, I've been lazy rewriting the template ;) )

Hope you can help me.
Regards,
Dick

Added: on the site it says that the site hasn't backed up. Even if I have just done that. Akeeba backup version is 3.2.7

According to the log file, no backup has run at all. Do you have the -now deprecated and about to be removed- Akeeba Backup Lazy Scheduling plugin activated on your site?

Hi Nocholas,

The plugin has never been activated.
It now happens with 3 more sites that are scheduled every week or every day. I included one log, just before it jumped back to the queue.
After the third time backing up RC stopped (see the last forum item).

Actually this started after I upgraded to the last version last week.

Hope you can help,
Dick

Ps: if you need a superadmin, tell me.

You have an unreadable site root and this throws off the backup process. Please make sure that you can take a backup from the back-end before attempting to use Remote Control. There's only so much that RC can do when your backup fails repeatedly due to a server-side issue.
