Research direction
Start by reproducing the documented gem installation command with Chef Server 11.1 and review the reported chef-zero, chef-config, mixlib-shellout, ffi-yajl, and ohai dependency constraints. Done means the knife-ec-backup gem installs successfully in that environment without dependency resolution errors.
