Issues with syncing to S3 storage from a PBS

I want to push the backups on my PBS to a S3-storage (Wasabi). I created a datastore on my PBS which works as a cache. The sync-job fills the cache but no data is being send to the S3-storage. I did follow the instructions on the Wasabi site but I do not want an additional PBS, I just want my backups to be stored in the cloud.
Any guidance is appreciated.

How did you determine that the data is not being send to the S3 backend? Can you share your datastore config obtained via cat /etc/proxmox-backup/datastore.cfg and the retracted s3 endpoint config to not expose your secrets (located at /etc/proxmox-backup/s3.cfg)?

Note that the S3 backend requires the local datastore cache to work, you can however use a filesystem on a size limited partition or use quotas [1]. The cache is however greedy and will use all available storage space.
