Yeah, my setup doesn’t have the AWS_*_CHECKSUM_CALCULATION configs, which is where your setup seems to be erroring. There’s a thread on that feature not being supported by B2, seems they recently implemented it, but I’m not sure if it actually works.

Yes, it worked until ~mid-December.

Presuming it stopped working after an upgrade, do you know the version where it was working (knowing the filename of the last successful backup would help) and the version you’re at now?

I’ll try to find the old files, I was doing some cleanup and deleted before checking :man_facepalming:t2:. I know this one `v20251209012613` was already failing. Will try to recover the older files to see when it stopped working.

I just got backblaze working on a fresh install, and by the looks of it you’re on older version of discourse - the version of ruby in your stacktrace is 3.3.0 and on mine it’s 3.4.0. Not sure if it’d make a difference, as the versions of aws-sdk-core and aws-sdk-s3 gems seem to be the same, but I thought it may be worth pointing out.

I just retried and got the same error.
