> Up until now backups were always stored on the server’s local disk – uploading backups to S3 was just an additional, optional step at the end of the backup process. With the new setting you can choose to store backups either locally or on S3.

Will the old way still work—local + S3? I like having a local backup along with the S3 for redundancy.
