Hi, I have a tricky question. I turned on backups on S3 for my Discourse instance. They are configured correctly (as in backups are happening) I think in Discourse. Here’s my log of settings (it’s Polish, but you’ll figure it out easily because labels are in English). ![20](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/9/19b49d45e9693e899b8a27d4981e137163b817c0.png) So it’s making backup everyday, one, and it’s keeping 3 of them on S3. And now - the issue. I’d think that it’s only going to update thingy everyday so I wouldn’t have made… **1878 PUT request in 5 days**?! What I’m doing wrong here? ---

This is probably not it, but just to be sure, you haven’t configured uploads on S3, right? ---

Oh, no. No. I’m not uploading the rest of the stuff on S3. ![32](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/5/755c8fdf6f43a6cf16e0ee926098dcec1df93860.png) ---

I am considering moving to S3 for Discourse backup but this topic is slightly concerning. Was this ever explained or resolved, @pawelorzech? ---

That’s actually a very good question! It’s most likely due to the fact that the S3 client uploads files which are larger than 15MB in multiple parts. ---

No it was not. But I’m bitting the bullet by paying… $0.18 per month. ---
