I’m using Backblaze B2 as offsite backup of my NAS. Every night, a new snapshot is created. My question is, why do I need versioning for this? Why not always just keep the latest or the latest two (in case of ransomware) versions of the backup? On my Mac I frequently restore previously deleted files via Time Machine but on my NAS I don’t seem to do that at all because either I delete a file cause I really don’t need it or if in doubt I just keep the file cause the NAS got so much storage anyway. I don’t seem to ever have the need to roll back.

Do you do proper versioning with offsite backups?
