Yet again the S3 Bucket doesn’t exist error!

Roughly one in three backups give this error on three different websites. This has been an ongoing case for years! There must be something wrong the way you connect to AWS S3. No other plug-in or software I use that connects to S3 has this many errors. The logical conclusion is that you are doing something that AWS doesn’t like or you are not using their API correctly.

How do you expect me to switch to pro when the most basic operation of backing up is not reliable?

Error says S3 bucket doesn’t exist? Has the plug-in tried again? Or was that a network glitch? For a plug-in that is used by almost a million people this is not a good job.
