I’ve looked around on the forums and searched Google, but I can’t seem to find anything related to this issue. First I went to my site, then Site Settings \> Backups where I could have sworn was where to set the AWS S3 bucket to use to store backups under the `s3_backup_bucket` field. However it’s not there. Google turned up [this thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-automatic-backups-for-discourse) which seems to indicate that is indeed where one sets the S3 bucket to use for backups…

My Discourse version is `2.9.0.beta4`. Am I blind 😂, did the setting move somewhere else? Here’s what my Backups page looks like:

Any help on figuring out where this setting went would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
