On AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive 1TB will cost you $1/month. I use it as one of my off-site backup solutions.
How much will it cost to retrieve that backup though?
Around $120/TB from memory when I looked into it.
That's too much for regular stuff, but if you're using it to store your family photos and videos off-site in case of a fire etc, you'd pay it. Hmmm... I wonder whether you could get insurance to cover it?
I use it exactly for that. It's a secondary, long term backup which I plan to hopefully never retrieve. It's basically write-only for me and I hope it will remain that way. (Because if it's not, I lost my on-site backup AND my primary cloud backup as well. So I'm probably very fucked.)
Especially if you forget to tar it.
