EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue:
I have a couple of sites where backups are succesfully taken but they are not being uploaded to Amazon S3 (although profile is configured to do so). In these sites, I have also noticed that trying to use the "Transfer archive to Amazon S3" feature from Manage Backups screen, gives an inmediate 500 error (I noticed that in my browser console).

Attached you may find the log for one of the sites (the one I am provided information) where you can see the postprocessing started. Nevertheless the file was not uploaded. This specific log is for a backup started automatically from Watchful.ly.

I would appreciate any help in fixing the "transfer archive to Amazon S3" feature so that I can move my backups there.

Best!!

I don't think it's an immediate error. It seems that you're simply timing out while transferring a 170Mb archive from what is essentially a front-end backup method. Try setting a part size for split archives around 10 to 20Mb.

As you can see in the attached image, it's at 598ms which I think it's quite fast.

Anyway I'll reduce part size as it's usually bullet proof.

Thank you very much!!
