Notification Amazon S3 storage is not enabled for backups.
I got this message after s3 was discontinued due to a billing issue. I re-registerd and now S3 activiation is endlessly pending. So I can run instances, but can't backup them due to this issue.
What steps can I take to fix this?

TurnKey Backup and Migration Sold by: TurnKey Linux Application cancelled December 21, 2012
TurnKey Linux on EC2 - EBS-backed (Budget Plan) Sold by: TurnKey Linux Application cancelled December 21, 2012
TurnKey Linux on EC2 - S3-backed (Hobby Plan) Sold by: TurnKey Linux Application cancelled December 21, 2012

It's most likely a sync-delay with Amazon's billing system. You might want to give it another try by:
If that still doesn't help, I'd recommend contacting AWS support and asking them to look into the issue: application-payments@amazon.com
Note that Amazon are usually super responsive, so you should be back up and running in no time.
If all else fails, feel free to drop me a line.
