You have problems with your implementation of Amazon S3 backup jobs in your job scheduler or some other area. I have deleted the jobs and recreated them, etc. I have to reboot M圜loud for S3 jobs to properly execute. The problem is if several days go by this same problematic condition returns. After rebooting, now I could manually start an S3 job and I verified the missing files/folders were properly copied to my S3 bucket. I did this over and over, so then I decided to reboot M圜loud. Then the “Updating” message popped up for a few seconds, but the job does not start.

The dialog box “Are you sure you want to perform a backup now?” popped up and I clicked OK.

I then went back to M圜loud and clicked the right arrow (triangle) on a particular job to run the job manually. They were not because I found missing files/folders in my Amazon S3 bucket that were present on M圜loud. So using an S3 browser, I checked my Amazon S3 buckets to determine if your S3 queues were operating correctly. From the start date/time, anyone would assume the job ran correctly, but I was not convinced. I then looked at the details of the job, clicking on the Progress “List” link.

This was the first indication that something might be wrong. I saw Finished on some jobs and Ready on others. I wanted to ensure your S3 jobs were running correctly, so I logged into M圜loud and looked at the details/status for each S3 job. Over a week ago, I setup four S3 queues to run each night at different times. I DO NOT want to use the other Backup Types (or modes). I have all my S3 jobs setup as Type: Upload and Backup Type: Overwrite Existing File(s). Some of the S3 jobs (queues as you call them) are configured to run on a daily schedule, some I run manually. On M圜loud, I have created multiple S3 backup jobs and know they are configured correctly, why, it’s virtually impossible with your interface to configure an S3 job incorrectly. I am very familiar with Amazon S3 because I also own a Qnap NAS that I’ve used for three years and utilize the S3 support inside the Qnap. I purchased a new WD M圜loud EX2 because along with other features, WD claims to support Amazon S3 backup.
