Ability to make use of new S3 buckets without having to terminate backups

We would like to see the ability to "migrate" from an existing S3 storage to new S3 storage. Currently, when we create new S3 buckets for storing snapshots we can only make use of it when we terminate the existing backup stored in the "old" S3 bucket. This means we delete all existing backups before we can use the new S3 snapshot storage, which is considered very high risk. We must keep backups for up to few months and cannot delete them just to move to a new S3 backup storage. It would be very good to be able to make use of the new storage without having to delete the existing backup data.
