It seems to be related to the permissions policy. If I attach the Administrator Policy rules to the IAM user, the backups work just fine. The moment I remove that policy and attach the policy in that tutorial, it stops working. Here’s that policy from the tutorial:
{
“Version”: “2012-10-17”,
“Statement”: [
{
“Effect”: “Allow”,
“Action”: [
“s3:ListBucket”,
“s3:GetBucketLocation”,
“s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads”
],
“Resource”: “arn:aws:s3:::mybucket”,
“Condition”: {}
},
{
“Effect”: “Allow”,
“Action”: [
“s3:AbortMultipartUpload”,
“s3:DeleteObject”,
“s3:DeleteObjectVersion”,
“s3:GetObject”,
“s3:GetObjectAcl”,
“s3:GetObjectVersion”,
“s3:GetObjectVersionAcl”,
“s3:PutObject”,
“s3:PutObjectAcl”,
“s3:PutObjectVersionAcl”
],
“Resource”: “arn:aws:s3:::mybucket/*”,
“Condition”: {}
},
{
“Effect”: “Allow”,
“Action”: “s3:ListAllMyBuckets”,
“Resource”: “*”,
“Condition”: {}
}
]
}
