Hello Jim, 


Ok, nobody has successfully loaded the S3 Driver. That's what I figured as I 
have tried the latest version and various 9.x versions with the same "Driver 
not properly loaded" results. The only distro I haven't tried is CentOS 7.x as 
that distro is being discontinued. I guess there is zero QA for this so-called 
plug-in. Time to start looking for another backup solution. 



I think you missed that part where GPL software comes for free to the company 
that you work, but without any kind of support or warranty. You can always 
build the code yourself and make it work, or acquire a software license with 
support. 
That said, your error is most likely caused by not having the the proper libs3 
packages maintained by the bacula.org project. The reason for this, if I 
remember right, is that the original libs3 author is not updating the libraries 
to keep up with the S3 protocol evolution. 
That drawback was highly advertised and discussed in this very same list: 

BQ_BEGIN

"[snip] ... S3 driver: If you are trying to build the S3 drivers, please 
remember to use the 
community supplied (from Bacula Enterprise) version of libs3 .so found at: [ 
https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20181010.tar.gz |  
https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20181010.tar.gz ] " 

BQ_END

You have to download them and build them from source. On CentOS 7 I had success 
using the following script: 

yum install curl libcurl-devel libxml2 
cd /usr/src 
wget https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20200523.tar.gz 
tar -xzvf libs3-20200523.tar.gz 
cd /usr/src/libs3-20200523 
make 
make install 

Nevertheless, the Bacula Enterprise version Drivers and Plugins come with all 
builtin necessary libraries. These ones are tested by a highly skilled QA team, 
they work out-of-the-box, and they support all clouds (not only the S3 
protocol). Perhaps you should consider that due to your high quality standards. 

Regards,
