Failing backup with miss-leading error message. about backup-restore-operator

I was thinking about making the region optional, and use the GetBucketLocation() minio client call to figure it out.

But it seems that isn't working either. I was trying to get the bucket location with:

• aws cli
• a small go program using mini-go

aws cli returns the correct location, even when talking to the wrong endpoint, while the mini-go client
responds wrongly with the same region as the endpoint is:

$ AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=eu-west-1 aws s3api get-bucket-location --bucket $BUCKET
{
    "LocationConstraint": "eu-central-1"
}

$ go run main.go
location: eu-west-1 

Here is my minio-go tester code:

package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "os"

        "github.com/minio/minio-go/v6"
        "github.com/minio/minio-go/v6/pkg/credentials"
)

func main() {
        client, _ := minio.NewWithOptions("s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com", &minio.Options{
                Creds: credentials.NewEnvAWS(),
        })
        bl, _ := client.GetBucketLocation(os.Getenv("BUCKET"))
        fmt.Println("location:", bl)
}

Hi @lalyos thanks for taking a look into the cause of the bug. We decided to use the minio client because it seems to work for other s3 compatible stores too, whereas there were some problems with using the s3 go client.
