Currently, Destinations is used as both a list of places you can backup to (e.g. server directories, NodeSquirrel) as well as sources for backups (e.g. the default database).

I have installed the Backup and Migrate Files module, as well as using NodeSquirrel and a private files system. My Destinations tab therefore looks like the attached screenshot and is quite confusing as to what's a destination and what's a source.

I propose separating Destinations and Sources for better usability, if only in the front-end.

This change is underway in the 3.x branch (which is not ready for prime time yet)

Great! One small notice: the descriptive text in Destinations has wrong word order.

It sounds as though this fix has been pushed to the new 7.x-3.2 release if not sooner.
