This is the most cost effective cloud backup storage I'm aware of. The use case is for full, off-site, encrypted backups that are only retrieved after a catastrophe (i.e. your house burns down, RAID and local backups are gone). This is reflected by the cost structure and properties of Deep Archive: - Upload is free - Storage is $0.00099 per GiB/month ($1.01376/TiB). That makes it very cheap to store your data. - Restore and download is quite costly: - Restore from S3 tape to S3 blob: - $0.0025/GiB ($2.56/TiB) for Bulk within 48 hours - $0.02/GiB ($20.48/TiB) for Standard within 12 hours - Download: The first 100 GiB/month are free, then 10 TiB/Month for $0.09 per GiB ($92.16/TiB) and discounts for more. - Update: With the European Data Act coming into force, the cost structure likely changes significantly: Egress fees are no longer permitted, and AWS has admitted as much, although they are tying this to \"moving out of AWS\" (without checking). So while you shouldn't rely on it, it's probably safe to assume that you won't need to pay the download fees above, which are 90% of the recovery costs, so for bulk you only pay $2.56/TiB. Likely only applies to EU. - The assumption is that you will hopefully never need to restore ;) (and for testing, you can use the 100 GiB free dow","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/mrichtarsky","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/mrichtarsky/glacier_deep_archive_backup/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
