Research direction

No file or test is identified in the issue; start by locating the AWS backup upload path and its handling of AWS_BACKUP_USE_IAM_PROFILE, AWS_BACKUP_ACCESS_KEY_ID, and AWS_BACKUP_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. Done means IAM-profile uploads reach S3 without requiring the key variables, while explicit credentials continue to work, with coverage for both configurations.
