I am thinking about turning on the option in ES to store my media in Amazon S3. However, I also use my Akeeba backups as a copy mechanism for the entire site into a subdomain that I use for testing new components, plugins, mods, etc. If the live site uses remote storage, then I copy the live site into the test site, then aren't BOTH sites now updating the same S3 bucket? I am worried about the danger of that. Any ideas on how to make the copying of a live site easier, without having to worry about the backup site changing "live" data in Amazon?
Hello Norske,

If you using the same bucket name for both site, yes, both site will be updating the same S3 bucket. So, to prevent this from happening, you can use a different bucket name for your test site.
