When configuring the Backup Destination & using the S3 storage type, I’m getting the following error when testing the connection:
Failed to connect: The specified bucket does not exist
I thought Duplicati creates the bucket if it doesn’t exist? Any help will greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
You have to create the bucket yourself in the AWS S3 console.
Duplicati may create the target FOLDER within the bucket automatically, but I’m not sure. I just created it manually in the S3 console as well.
@drwtsn32 is correct - Duplicati won’t create a bucket, but it will create a FOLDER unless you’ve disabled that feature.
--disable-autocreate-folder
If Duplicati detects that the target folder is missing, it will create it automatically. Activate this option to prevent automatic folder creation.
Default value: “false”
I went ahead and flagged his post as the solution, but please let us know if it doesn’t work for you.
