Hi,
On 9.0.0 and 9.0.1 kickstart files, even in Pro version, I can't no more download files from my backups server. Is this intentional?
The Import from Amazon S3 ans Import from URL buttons are no more displayed.
Thank you,
Robert

Apologies, I uploaded one commit behind in the dev release. The correct one is https://www.akeeba.com/download/kickstartpro/9-0-2-dev202512180658-rev06bade6.html. I have tested this with the URL Import.
The Import from S3 feature realistically needs a lot of work as it's currently only compatible with older regions which can support Amazon v2 signatures (newer regions only support v4). This will happen, but it's not a real priority. This feature comes from the era of slow Internet connections. As connections became faster people stopped using it, which of course disincentivises me from spending time on it.

Thank you, Nicholas!
I only use URL import from a remote backup server, not from Amazon S3.
The import was well performed.
Kind regards,
Robert
