VacateLegacyPrefixBackups job stuck

You’re hitting a bug in that job, sorry.

The simplest fix would be:

  1. navigate to https://community.naturephotographers.network/admin/backups
  2. delete the entries there which are 5GB or more for ‘Size’

Alternately, you can manually move them to the new location in the bucket, which would be probably be backups/default/ instead of the current backups/.

Moving them by hand will run into a second bug in the job, and the logs will error This copy request is illegal because it is trying to copy an object to itself without changing the object's metadata, storage class, website redirect location or encryption attributes

I’ve committed a fix for that second bug, so if you do the manual move then updating again in a little while will stop the “illegal request” error message.
