Can the .pbm-init file in my S3 bucket be safely deleted? I’m trying to do my restore testing and it appears this file is causing the --force-sync command to fail on my restore cluster.
Hi, if you are referring to the pbm.init file, it usually contains just the pbm version used. Why do you suspect it is causing problems? what is the error you are getting?
The issue was the file have been sent to Deep Archive in S3, so the restore test I was attempting was trying to overwrite the file and couldn’t. After your response, I just deleted the archived file and let the restore process write a new file. Thanks for your response.
I ran into similar issue when trying to use a read-only IAM profile, thread here for reference. In my case, giving the profile access to only write to .pbm.init was sufficient to get functional.
