Backup size growing

@christiaan they would've been deleted eventually. I think maybe after 3 weeks.
Oh right. There was one there that was a month old. Is there anywhere in Cloudron documentation that explains this?
@christiaan some info here - https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#retention-policy

@jdaviescoates I am always wary about adding that feature because a compromised cloudron would then mean that backups can also be deleted. In many backup providers, you can create storage credentials with permissions so that objects cannot be deleted. Then again maybe just like auto-deletion, we can have a button to delete which may or may not work...

Why are they not simply deleted based on the retention policy? Is this for wiggle room if an upgrade goes wrong?
My retention policy is 2 days, for instance, but one of these old version backups was a month old.

Thanks girish. This doesn't seem to cover the issue I am seeing though, which is that backups of old versions are not being deleted as per my retention policy.

@christiaan Correct me if I am wrong but i think the older ones are retained because of the previous b2 life cycle setting. Cloudron tries to cleanup backups only once. It won't go back and try to delete those old backups. As in, it won't delete files it thinks are already gone. Can you check if recent backups are indeed getting deleted? i.e the ones after you made the lifecycle setting change.

@girish ah yes, that makes sense. And recent ones are being deleted, yes. Thanks again.
