After beating my head against the problem of trying to get S3 backups working on my new PR2100 I found the problem:
New S3 buckets don’t get a “United States” region option. The regions are
us-east-1 (Virginia)
us-east-2 (Ohio)
us-west-1 (Northern California)
us-west-2 (Oregon)
I’m in Kentucky, so the Ohio one would be great, but after a lot of experimentation I had to create my bucket in Northern California to get the backup to work.
Does the new version 5 come with a new S3 app? Is there a way to edit the regions in a config file somewhere for the S3 app? I looked in /etc/s3.conf and didn’t see it. Maybe it’s hashed within one of the keys.
Can this be changed?
