I know what the problem is but sadly can't offer you a solution and you will have to report it as a bug at akeebabackup.com
For reference the bug is ONLY on windows filesystems
PS as it is a religious holy day this weekend don't expect a reply until monday https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dormition_of_the_Mother_of_God
@brianteeman
Thanks for your info. I don't know what I'll do yet.
I reported this to akeeba using the contact form. When it is processed there, I will close this issue here (later).
Nicholas informed me (based on bug report via contact form) that this is a known issue which should be fixed in the next release scheduled for tomorrow. As the date of release so close to major religious holiday, he has to work even during holiday.
Thanks to Nicholas, who gave me the following information:
The problem only happens on Windows.
We have a custom method to load any template from any view of the component. To do that we need to “trick” Joomla into thinking that it’s loading view templates from a different component view than the current one. The only way this can happen is by changing the template path of the View object.
Up until some point Joomla was always using forward slashes as path separators. At some point it changed to backslashes on Windows only. Since we are trying to break down the original path by the path separator this broke the logic of our implementation and resulted in the errors.
Last time I had tried Akeeba Backup 9 on Windows was either beta 7 or RC2. I am not perfectly sure since I have overwritten that test site as Akeeba Backup 9.0.1 really can’t run on older betas and RC versions of Joomla – many things changed in the meantime. With RC6 I can indeed reproduce the issue which means I can solve it.
as i said before ;)
Anyway this can be closed
