They first suspected firewall/connectivity rules, but we're able to browse the s3 bucket and all of it's contents from the linux repos using rclone and can get/put files in the bucket, so it doesn't seem to be a connectivity issue between linux and backblaze. Opened case # 04838936 and support had me try using a windows gateway for the offload, which works, but we're trying to limit the number of Windows servers we use for this environment and would really like to offload directly from the linux repos. We've installed all of the v11 updates over the past several months, currently running the latest 525. You can save some money by signing up for a full year or two years. It was working fine for the past 6 months and then recently, all offload jobs started getting stuck at 'Preparing Index' and would stay at that step indefinitely. A Backblaze unlimited backup plan is cheap, too, with a monthly subscription providing unlimited storage for just 6 per month. Conversely, is there anyone who's offloading directly from linux repos to Backblaze and is still working properly?

Anyone else see an issue where offloads to Backblaze s3 storage from linux repos stopped working in past few weeks? We're using Backblaze b2 storage and trying to offload directly from the linux server, without using a windows gateway.
