## Troubleshooting Tips

- Ensure the Access Key, Secret Key, Region are pasted correctly. Since you cannot view the Secret Key after the 1st time, re-create the AWS Access Key & AWS Secret Key, paste it on a text editor to ensure no spaces or unexpected characters are included and reconfigure the DataBee feed.
- Ensure the AWS Backup scopes/permissions are correct.
