Amazon S3 backup service not running

thefund4
Hello all, I have setup backups using WHM and it is backing up our data every weeknight, however, I have also selected to use an additional backup location, but this process never seems to run. I setup the bucket/secret key and set timeout to 300 (max value), but it doesn't appear that anything happens. I have a folder in my bucket called backup and in the WHM configuration I have "/backup" as the destination folder, I have also just tried "backup", but the results were the same. Has anyone ran into this S3 integration not working at all? Do I have to do any extra configuration on my end other than putting in these credentials and validating? The validation goes through everytime I check. Thanks for your help.

    Hello :) Please try leaving the "Folder" field blank and let us know if the issue persists. You can force a backup generation via: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup --force
    The backup logs are stored in: /usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpbackup/ /usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpbackup_transporter.log
    Thank you.

    Hello, thank you for your response. I checked our logs after leaving the folder field blank and am getting the following in cpbackup_transporter: [2014-10-01 07:05:41 -0400] info [cpbackup_transporter] Starting a "copy" operation on the "thefundingportal" destination ID "o0RxtTNGciTIlXHQEYbNXVJE".

    I already adjusted the timeout value to the maximum amount available: 300

    Have you checked to make sure there are no firewall or router rules resulting in the connection failure to that remote server? Thank you.

    I changed to a new bucket location and was able to get one file over before the timeout issue occurred again, so a connection was established long enough to get 100 MB of data across. I was able to establish an outside connection to s3.amazonaws.com from the server on both 80 and 443 so I don't think it is being blocked internally.

    Are you able to temporarily disable the firewall to rule it out as the cause of the problem? It seems more likely a connection issue between the two servers rather than an issue with the backup script itself. Thank you.
