I’m running CockroachDB on a DO droplet and want to backup the database to Spaces.
I’ve tried numerous variations on the backup command along the lines of:
backup into 's3://backups?AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx&AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx&AWS_ENDPOINT=fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com';
I’m struggling to find the correct form for the destination string. A working example would be most helpful.

Found on: github
I found that these four vars all needed to be set:
AWS_ENDPOINT
AWS_REGION
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
Example:
BACKUP INTO 's3://{bucket}/{path}?AWS_ENDPOINT=sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com&AWS_REGION=sfo2&AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID={xxx}&AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={xxx}';
Cheers.
you need to escape AWS_ENDPOINT prefixed with https protocol like
BACKUP INTO 's3://backups/myprefix?AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx&AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=yyy&AWS_ENDPOINT=https%3A%2F%2Fnyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com%2F'
