Hi there,

Same problem here and in my case, it’s not related to [this](https://forums.percona.com/t/intermittent-backup-failures/22362/6). I think it is a problem with deploy certificates, i have two environments and i’ve done an operator upgrade from 1.9.0 to 1.14.0, in development it is working as expected, i got backups in S3 but in production, i got this error. Comparing both environments, i’ve only seen that the certificates doesn’t upgrade properly like in development, i say this because in ArgoCD the objects of each app are different, not the same result. In development, i see two secret objects for certificates but they aren’t in production so i’m guessing something is happening there.

Cheers.
