Hi,
According to our documentation xbcloud supports the following env variables:
- AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID (or ACCESS_KEY_ID)
- AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY (or SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)
- AWS_DEFAULT_REGION (or DEFAULT_REGION)
- AWS_ENDPOINT (or ENDPOINT)
- AWS_CA_BUNDLE
If we set ACCESS_KEY_ID, SECRET_ACCESS_KEY and ENDPOINT and the environment already has 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS' variables, the latter are used by xbcloud as default ones. In case we need to have the access to e.g. 'storage.googleapis.com' and we set ACCESS_KEY_ID and SECRET_ACCESS_KEY we can not reach the bucket because wrong variables (AWS_*) are used.
As for me we can not use 'AWS_*' variables by default because they are used for access to aws and force the user to unset or rewrite them, it is bad idea.
for example, user can have AWS CLI installed/configured (which require AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID AWS_SECRET_ACCESS vars) and want to do backups to GCP.
STR:
0) xbcloud Ver 8.0.11 for Linux (x86_64)
1) set 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS' variables with valid credentials;
2) set ACCESS_KEY_ID, SECRET_ACCESS_KEY and ENDPOINT(storage.googleapis.com) variables with valid values for 'storage.googleapis.com' ;
3) try to get file from the existing backup:
xbcloud get s3://operator-testing/some-name-2020-29-04-12:33:44-full xtrabackup_info
200429 13:23:07 xbcloud: Probe failed. Please check your credentials and endpoint settings.
The verbose output you can find in the attachment.
3) unset AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS' variables (after that everything works fine):
xbcloud get s3://operator-testing/some-name-2020-29-04-12:33:44-full xtrabackup_info

I have tried to use '--storage=google' option but result was the same.
