Configuring AWS S3 Bucket for use with webgisdr

[DeanHowell1]

I am trying to create a new backup using webgisdr and running into some issues with the S3 bucket being validated by webgisdr.

I created an S3 bucket and just let everything default and then referenced the name of the S3 Bucket in the batch file that has been set-up to run the webgisdr but when I run it, I get the following error reported in the log.

==================================================
Starting the WebGIS DR utility.
==================================================

Failed to validate to the Amazon S3 bucket beta-spatial-webgisdr-backup. Please check the Web GIS DR log for more information.

What is webgisdr needing for the S3 bucket to be validated correctly?

When filling out the WebGISDr properties file, did you also set the AccessKey, SecretKey, Credential_Type, etc?  Or only set the name of the bucket?

Thanks @ReeseFacendini no didn't set any credentials. Where do you get that info from?

[DeanHowell1]

Hello again @ReeseFacendini , the properties file is directly referencing an IAM role as the credentials.  I am guessing if I can find out the role used in the other profile and set that IAM role up it should work 🙂

@DeanHowell1  here is where I got that information Create an ArcGIS Enterprise backup—Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise.  I believe you are right, that copying the IAM Role should work

Is beta-spatial-webgisdr-backup the backup bucket for the content, or for the backup itself? Is it in a separate region? If so, can you delete the VPC endpoint, which prohibits cross-region copying?

[DeanHowell1]

Thanks @JonathanQuinn the name is the S3 bucket name and it is in the same region.
