Do you think there might be a possibility that it might be an issue on our WordPress server?
Everything is up to date : patched RedHat 9.5, and its supported PHP 8.2.27, latest WordPress, and latest plugin version…

Is there a way to test outside of WordPress? That way I have supporting tests that show it’s not the app (WordPress nor WP Mail SMTP)

Thanks for the reply!
As I said, I’m no expert.
I saw references to PHP Mailer and fixes, but I was thinking WP Mail SMTP was using it’s own mail programs and kind of dismissed them.
Now that I know WP SMTP Mail actually does use PHP Mailer, it gives me more knowledge to work with…

Much Mahalo’s!

Thanks so much!

Hi…I read this on that page you forwarded me to :
===========================================================
Hello @biggs31fr
Please help me try this modified path instead: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6olutuyy951s3hr/backwpup_s3_mod.zip?dl=0
Thank you!
===========================================================
I follow that dropbox link, and it leads me to certain files.
I don’t know what to do with them.

Can you provide a little more clarity? Thanks so much!

I tried adding the
sort=true

And first click now works.
But I get a drop down of ALL fields to select to sort from.

When I try to limit the number of sort fields with this :
<p>[pdb_list template=custom list_limit=”10″ orderby=”date” order=”desc” sort=true fields=”lname,fname,alias”]</p>

…then yes the sort fields are limited to those 3…
BUT…
All of a sudden I lose the database fields that were to be shown in our custom template.

Thanks! Will give this a shot and report back here.

Thanks for the reply!
Looking forward for the updates/fixes…. 8)

I found something else…
wp-config.php –> define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘1024M’ );

When I set
php.ini –> memory_limit = 2048M
and
wp-config.php –> define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘2048M’ );

…the error disappears, and all works fine. But we can’t keep raising these values ad infinitum…especially if our backup is larger than our available RAM.

So, my conclusion is :
3.6.0 – setting for Multipart Uploads allow larger file uploads to S3
3.6.10 – NO SETTING for Multipart Uploads, so it is broken/not allowed anymore.

Correct?
Can it be fixed?
Is there an option someplace where I can re-enable it?

Thanks in advance!

Per Google, 1073741824 bytes = 1024 Mebibytes
So it looks like there’s some 1024 limit being set somewhere…but where?

And like I said, 3.6.0 works fine, but 3.6.10 does not.
I don’t think raising my php.ini memory_limit to even higher values is a safe solution.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry…my INBOX did not show that you replied to my post, so just saw this today. We are in the process of upgrading our 80+ sites…but on this one we are at BackWPup version 3.6.0.

When I want to backup to S3, I go to the “To: S3 Service” tab.
I see a dropdown selection for “Select a S3 service” which said “Amazon S3: US Standard”….I thought this sounded correct, so I skipped it. I did not realize this is actually the AWS Region selection.

Then there’s a field for “Or a S3 Server URL”…which we leave blank.

Then there’s the Multipart Upload checkbox.

Then there are the Access and Secret Key fields, which I fill out properly.

Then I can select my S3 bucket. And I can see all my S3 buckets in the drop down, so I select the proper one….

I save.

I run the backup and then I got that error.

Later I realized I had to select
NOT -> Amazon S3: US Standard
But rather -> Amazon S3 : US West (Oregon)

So it seems odd that my backup config can see and select my bucket when keys are correctly set…

But then on job execution, it says it can’t find my bucket.
(found out later it’s cuz the “Select a S3 Service” was wrong…)

Maybe this field should be renamed “Select AWS Region”…or maybe not even be there at all since the keys seem to locate the bucket….???

Well, I figured out how to make it work anyways, and I haven’t seen the newer versions of this plugin…maybe this is fixed…

Love the plugin though…just thought I’d share this experience.

I found that these minimum permissions worked…are these correct or should I remove some of them?

“s3:PutObject”,
“s3:GetObject”,
“s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads”,
“s3:AbortMultipartUpload”,
“s3:ListBucketVersions”,
“s3:ListBucket”,
“s3:DeleteObject”,
“s3:GetBucketLocation”,
“s3:ListMultipartUploadParts”

It seems that whenever I removed “GetBucketLocation”, I got a :
ERROR: S3 Service API: Access Denied

So DEFINITELY that is needed….but the others? Which can I safely remove?

I was just wondering the same thing.
=============================================
read
Buckets: s3:ListBucket, s3:ListBucketVersions, and s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads
write:
Buckets: s3:PutObject and s3:DeleteObject
=============================================

Those 5 permissions are not working for me. I am getting :

[10-Jul-2019 15:43:34] ERROR: S3 Service API: Access Denied

Any update on this?

Ah, was busting my head on this for the past 3 days…decided to post this question today…but then found my answer today too!!!
==============================================================
Resolved :
1) In IAM on AWS, ensure the “ROLE” assigned to your EC2 has the “Policy” that grants access to the designated S3 bucket
2) In IAM on AWS, ensure the IAM User has that “Policy” in their “Permissions” tab
3) In BackWPup job, use that IAM USer’s [Access key ID/Secret access key] pair in the “To: S3 Service” tab and select the proper bucket is selected in “Bucket selection” drop down.
4) In BackWPup job, in the “To: S3 Service” tab, ensure the checkbox for “Multipart Upload” is checked.

That’s what worked for me…

Update Available: 3.1.3; Current Version: 3.1.2;

You need a hosts-file entry on your server.

Here’s what I did for a site let’s just call it : https://mysitezz.com

mysitezz.com = a production site that has DNS records that point it to the production server.
But I made a copy of it on another server for testing, and edited my hostfile on my PC so that I can get to that test site.

I installed the plugin on the test site and the spinning icon came up for a few seconds then disappeared.

So I edited my test server’s hostfile to say : 127.0.0.1 mysitezz.com

I re-ran the plugin, and now it ran to completion and I get results…
