I need some help. I went down the rabbit hole (pardon the bunny pun) for the last two days, trying to get backups and images to go to Backblaze. I used this forum post and others to try and set it up. Now I keep getting and error message on the backups (though still have not been able to get the uploads to work but first things first with the backups) I have setup buckets in Backblaze, keys and the pull zones. These are the settings in All Site Settings for S3 ![The image is a screenshot of server management settings for uploading files to Amazon S3, including options for employing a custom S3 upload bucket, setting an S3 CDN URL, enabling automatic deletion policies, recommending the use of ACLs, and preventing cleanup of backup files.

It may be irrelevant but thought I should add it. ![The image is a popup message asking if the user wants to start a database backup, noting that it will not include file uploads and no image uploads are included, with a guide available for full backups.

Can anyone help me figure out where I am going wrong? I hope I have included everything needed to troubleshoot. 😫 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/set-up-backblaze-s3-with-bunnycdn/159135)._
