Cannot find backup and no backup going to Amazon S3.

The standard backup system as well as the legacy backup system have been enabled. Two problems I have are that I cannot find the local copies of backups that have automatically been created and backups to Amazon S3 do also not occur. Two log files I have received are as follows:

Legacy Backup is also enabled with similar settings.

Hi, Yes both backup and legacy are selected for the 1 user which I have.

Just an update. I can now see my first backup going into my Amazon S3 bucket but I still can't find any backups via ssh. It's probably something I'm missing but I cannot find any trace of a backup via SSH. Both the back and legacy backup system are enabled via WHM.
