Create Backblaze Bucket

Sign up/in with your account at BackBlaze.

Click on "Create new bucket". Give your bucket a unique name, and choose "private".

Please take note of the bucket's name and region.

Backblaze default lifecycle configuration will keep all versions of the same file. This should be set to "Keep only last version" to prevent excess storage usage.

Create BackBlaze API Keys

Click on "App Keys" at the "B2 Cloud Storage" sidebar.

Click on "Add a New Application Key".

When not using master application keys, the application key must have all privileges (Read and Write) on the targeted bucket.

Please take note of the application key’s “KeyID” and “Application Key” for the Access/Secret Key portion.
