I am trying to figure out the correct settings to backup from virtualmin to my digitalocean space. I have followed this guide, but everytime the backup fails stating “Failed to list S3 buckets : The AWS Access Key Id you provided does not exist in our records.”
Has anyone got backups from virtualmin to DO spaces working?

I just set this up for one of my Virtualmin-managed servers recently –
First, follow the path “Virtualmin > Backup and Restore > Cloud Storage Providers > Amazon S3” to set up your Spaces particulars.
Now, go to “Backup and Restore > Backup Virtual Servers” to setup/run your backup.

Hi @tigersloft,
No, you shouldn’t need a new space per droplet.
It’s a little hard to tell what the issue might be with your setup, given the limited information. However, I suggest you go over the details you used for the settings again and confirm they are accurate.
You may especially wish to confirm that you are using the right pair of keys, i.e. your “Spaces” access keys, and you could try generating a fresh pair to use for the new connections and see it that helps.
tosna. great article. works perfectly on the first server i tried. however, the same exact settings do not work on any of my other servers. only error message is
Failed to list S3 buckets :
same error on all servers except the first one i set it up on. so. 2 questions…
@andrewrowlandg that tutorial is quite old—from 2009. I believe the interface was since updated with added support for custom S3 endpoint. Can you post a screenshot of this section on your Virtualmin config, hiding your access and secret keys?
This is the guide I’m using http://smashtech.net/2009/06/03/backing-up-with-virtualmin-and-s3/
Hi, have you entered the correct digitaloceanspaces.com endpoint in the
S3-compatible server hostname
field while configuring the backups? Also, can you post the link the guide that you used?
