Hi Radoslaw,

Turned out that I was able to build when using the libs3 provided by bacula
[https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20181010.tar.gz]
Sadly that wasn't really documented.

I do have the cloud backup running, now. All works even better than
expected regarding the S3 upload. I also realised that I can use "Cache
Retention" so the local disk won't run out of disk pace while still
allowing fast restores within the "Cache Retention" period.

Tanks again,

Erik
