Object Storage as Backup Target • S3 Connection lost at 5 GB

I was attempting to make a large initial backup 75+ GB to an S3 compatible bucket.

When the upload hit 5 GB, I got the message: Connection was lost the task will be canceled.

Is there a limit to file size when using Veeam with S3. 5GB is the limit of S3's PUT Object command. The multipart upload function needs to be used with larger files.

From Amazon:
Q: How much data can I store in Amazon S3?

The total volume of data and number of objects you can store in Amazon S3 are unlimited. Individual Amazon S3 objects can range in size from a minimum of 0 bytes to a maximum of 5 TB. The largest object that can be uploaded in a single PUT is 5 GB. For objects larger than 100 MB, customers should consider using the multipart upload capability.
