Backblaze B2 - what lifecycle settings for bucket I should use?

    Hi!

    First of all, sorry for poor English.

    I want to backup using CBB Desktop to BackBlaze B2 and create the individual bucket for backups in B2.
    But I can't understand what lifecycle settings I should select? I'm afraid to use excess space in the bucket. B2 offers "Keep all versions of the file (default)" - but as I understand, I don't need it? CBB Desktop control file versions in backup if I right understand? Should I select "Keep only the last version of the file"?

    Hi

    , you might want to set no lifecycle settings. If you use Retention Policy the Backup client will delete all data automatically (according to the settings). Having 2 mechanisms deleting data at the same time may cause some misunderstanding between the two so it's not recommended.

    , yes, that's the one. The Backup client will manage the data deletion on its own
