I have Minio (locak S3 clone service) setup on my server and would like to be able to use it as my backup destination.

I have read through how to setup a custom URL and think I have it set correctly, but wonder if non-default ports are supported? I have minio running on port 9000. Here is what I have tried:

```
 "TargetURL": "s3://test/foo?s3-server-name=192.168.1.107%3A9000&s3-location-constraint=&s3-storage-class=&auth-username=dpeart&auth-password=password",

```

I have a bucket test created, but not the directory foo.

Test connection can’t complete name resolution.

suggestions?

thanks  
david
