Adding to that: Other than the horrendous possible security flaws present in libs3 (try to compile with a recent GCC and see for yourself) the nature of anything cloud-bases is inherently volatile. The AWS-API may change at any given moment (and it has in the past), making libs3 incompatible without updates. And without an upstream author implementing those changes, your backups are more or less gone. My very pessimistic view on the situation is: Don't use any backup solution using libs3 if you value your data. But: YMMV.

Re: [Bacula-users] Compilation Errors of Bacula 9.6.3 on Ubuntu 18.04
Hello, Please permit me to make a small correction to what Sven said. The libs3 that is needed is indeed updated from the version released on Debian and Ubuntu, but it supplied by the Bacula Community (i.e. Kern) rather than Bacula Systems. A working version can be found on the bacula web site at: https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20181010.tar.gz I have also pushed what is probably a more recent version of this library to the public git repo named libs3.git on www.bacula.org. You can access it similarly to the way you access the current bacula.git repository. Note: I have not personally tested this version of libs3. I agree with Sven, libs3 is a big disaster. It works well but the author abandoned it, and many things have changed since then. For the moment, we have a version that works with AWS (don't expect it to work with a number of other S3 implementations, which are not compatible with AWS).

The libs3 included in Ubuntu (and Debian) will not work. (This is also why the Debian and Ubuntu packages don't include the S3 driver in the first place, because of the whole disaster that is libs3 to begin with.)
