 * I’ve cloned a site by restoring a backup from another. I then changed the S3 
   location to a unique name, but when I Rescan remote storage shows me many other
   backups. I guess these are from other S3 locations.
 * It would also be nice if the Existing Backup page shows which are remote vs. 
   local.

 * Hi,
 * The cloned database will still have records of the old backups. If you select
   all backup sets (using CTRL+click), then delete the backup sets WITHOUT deleting
   them from remote storage, these records will be removed. You can then re-scan
   remote storage to retrieve an accurate list of the backup sets from the new S3
   location.
 * We will add your suggestion for marking remote vs local to our future development
   list.
