This version of Akeeba Backup backports improvements made to the backup engine and the backup software since its last release for Joomla! 3.
This release is part of the extended support of our software for Joomla! 3. Updates to this older software comes very infrequently, and only includes changes which can be conceivably backported to the older versions, within their PHP and Joomla! version support constraints.
We strongly advise clients who are still using Joomla! 3 to upgrade to Joomla! 4 and Joomla! 5 as soon as possible. Extended support for older major versions of Joomla! is subject to time availability, and the constraints of what is technically feasible with older versions of PHP and Joomla!.
