velero + minio: Error getting volume snapshotter for volume snapshot location

[kiaz-github]

The backup is completed (all items are backed up) but the status is "partially failed" because of this error:

time="2022-03-14T15:39:03Z" level=error msg="Error getting volume snapshotter for volume snapshot location" backup=velero/testbackup07 error="rpc error: code = Unknown desc = missing region in aws configuration" error.file="/go/src/velero-plugin-for-aws/velero-plugin-for-aws/volume_snapshotter.go:76" error.function="main.(*VolumeSnapshotter).Init" logSource="pkg/backup/item_backupper.go:444" name=pvc-7078f34b-a748-4543-bbeb-70eb4240911f namespace= persistentVolume=pvc-7078f34b-a748-4543-bbeb-70eb4240911f resource=persistentvolumes volumeSnapshotLocation=default

I installed Velero server v1.8.0 using vmware-tanzu/velero helm chart.
I installed Minio v2022-03-11T23-57-45Z (latest release).

This is the velero-values.yaml file:

`initContainers:

  image: velero/velero-plugin-for-aws:v1.3.1
  imagePullPolicy: Always
  volumeMounts:
  • mountPath: /target
