Hi John,
I would check with your host and see if they cannot update your php to at least 5.3, most can but need pushing as they are lazy. Also, with your site in general, we could have a look at it at a monthly meetup and let the group provide some constructive comments for you. I do think it needs some changes and not necessary upgrade from 2.5 which has plenty of live left in it as yet.
Cheers

To be honest I'd probably switch hosts - php 5.2 was end-of-lifed in 2011, making it extremely out of date. It's also[masked]% slower than 5.3 on the same hardware and has unpatched security vulnerabilities. Not something you want to deal with in a Joomla install.
You can still download older versions of Akeeba backup - any version prior to those released mid 2012 should be fine.
I'd grab one of the older versions, run a backup and then use it to get away from your existing host!

To Joomla webcm-53 group,
At the moment I am using Joomla 2.5 as that is what was set up previously.
I downloaded akeema to do the backup and it needed php 5.3.1. So does Joomla 3.2
The ISP only use 5.2.x for PHP so that stops me getting Joomla 3.0+ etc.
What can I use to backup the site.
Should I make this request through meetup or direct as per email address...
Wouldn't mind having a full session on backups. Its important...
