Hello

Our community would like to start using S3 in order to store media files and backups, to prevent the VPS to be full soon.  
I checked settings and the it seems like credentials are shared for both settings (`enable s3 uploads` and `backup location`)

However, I would like to know if it’s possible to host, for example, Backups on Oregon and Media Files on Dublin  
Is there any way to achieve this?
