Has anyone gotten this to work successfully?
I am on version Version: 1.15 of the S3 app.
Followed multiple wd forum posts with no luck
Any input is greatly appreciated. I will even pay someone if they can help me figure this out!
I’m having the same issue. It just says “backup failed” with no indication of what happened.
Same here. Cannot find any solution. Looking at the s3.conf shows a error 96. Not helpful.
I got it working after some poking around. Here’s what I found worked:
Make sure your permissions are in order, both in IAM and S3. If you’re not sure it’s set up right, try interacting with the bucket using the AWS s3 command line utility, using the same access key and secret key you’re providing to the backup tool.
When setting up a backup job, the ‘remote path’ should just be the bucket name. Make sure you specify the region.
Thank you sir. I will look at this. If I can’t get it going, I will gladly pay you to help me set it up
