  Wait, I’m looking at the data retrieval cost (bulk request) and it says it’s priced at $0.0025 per GB? That comes out to about $21 for a retrieval! Am i missing something important?

    Take a look at the calculations here www.arqbackup.com/aws-glacier-pricing.html

    It explains it a bit better. You have to factor in how many requests you need too. So both file sizes and amount of files.

  I think that people would be using the service as a last resort, like when all other local or physical offsite backups fail.

  In that sense, the cost to recover shouldn’t be the main factor when considering it.

    Is there a less expensive alternative for Cloud storage with a decent SLA? I don’t want to go for the smaller companies, and BackBlaze is quite expensive too!

      With my Synology NAS, I use icloud e2 for cloud storage. Reasonably priced, and it integrates with Synology’s Hyperbackup software.

      But my needs are relatively small, sending < 5TB to my cloud backup. A few more TB and I may start looking at other options.

        I plugged in my numbers into AWS, and I’m looking at $9 a month for storage with $21 for a bulk retrieval. That’s quite inexpensive, which is why I’m starting to think that I’m missing something important

        What other options? I was looking at hezner storage box and it seems pretty reasonable for storage, about $13 for 5 tb
