Cool.

That's the correct workflow, but there may be a bug in that it won't
show you the link to the 'available snapshots' until you have the
first backup form the 'new' SoaS.

To confirm...

 - wait until the 'new' SoaS makes the first backup
 - revisit that page - should show the empty-ish backup from the new SoaS
 - click on the link that shows all available snapshots...
 - should show you the snapshots from your 'old' SoaS
