Question Backup extention S3 data transfer costs

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.56

Hello,

I saw, that Amazon S3 Backup extention when making backups are also dowloading data from S3 storage. This causes lots of costs of transfer from amazon S3 to the Internet. Extention is sending REST.GET.OBJECT query and dowloading file (or part of backup file). Ofcourse I don't dowload by my self backup files from S3.

Is this normal behavior and is it possible to do something with this?

Are you using incremental backups? Plesk first needs to download some info to ensure the main backup is there and match the new increment to the last one. I'm assuming this is what's happening so you can test without that option.
