I am trying to run an export task but the task is falling with:

E0704 20:51:51.570663 18 handlers.go:314] Backup: Closing RW pipe due to error: Access Denied
E0704 20:51:51.572330 18 handlers.go:314] Backup: Closing RW pipe due to error: Access Denied

I found the code in dgraph/x/handlers.go at v21.12.0 · dgraph-io/dgraph · GitHub. It seems that my AWS credentials didn’t have the required permissions to write on the bucket.

But we could still use a better error message here.
