Hello Vertica gurus and fellow explorers,
I have a V9 EON cluster setup with explicit access/secret_key with RW permissions to the primary db S3 bucket inside the admintools.conf. I was trying to setup a separate key pair and S3 bucket to use for running the backup job, but I cannot find any way to set access/secret_key for VBR tool specifically.
Anyone knows of a way to do this? Maybe some undocumented parameter?
I appreciate your help! 
+1You can do it by specifying the following in your vbr.ini
AWS credential file - You can manually create a configuration file on your EC2 initiator host at ~/.aws/credentials.
[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_KEY
If you are planning to add encryption, please visit the below link and refer to section "Encrypting Backups"
