Type Improvement
Status Open

Background

S3 buckets can be addressed with or without specifying the region as part of the URL.

Description

Currently, the region will always get resolved from the AWS API, even if it was set explicitly.
If resolving the region via AWS API fails the entire backup fails.

Improvement

Improved stability for remote backups by

  • Respecting a bucket region that was passed explicitly
  • Retrying the request to query the bucket region if it failed
