Backblaze personal6/5/2023 All of those sorts of settings are settings that you can adjust to make it work as you wish. For example, you can adjust whether you want duplicated and unduplicated data on the CloudDrive volume, or if you just want it to hold duplicates exclusively. Once you add the drive, you'll want to use the balancing options in DrivePool to adjust the settings you'd like to use. Once you create the CloudDrive volume, it will show up in DrivePool as an option to add to the pool just like any other drive. You can add the CloudDrive to your existing pool. I would say that if you need to backup 46TB, you could make a single 50TB volume on CloudDrive with 16KB clusters and that should suit you fine. If you use 64KB clusters, you can make a single 256TB volume, though I would suggest you keep individual volumes lower than 60TB with NTFS, otherwise chkdsk will not work and there is no way to repair file system errors. Your volume size will, of course, be limited by the cluster size that you format it with. You can make a drive larger than 10TB, simply type in the size you want. In any case, the theoretical maximum size of a CloudDrive drive is 1PB. Or you could simply set up rsync or a similar tool to copy data to the cloud periodically. That would back up your content AND repair it as necessary. You might consider using CloudDrive in a pool with your local storage using DrivePool or another similar tool and then running redundancy with Backblaze. I don't think there is necessarily an objective "best" to provide you with.
