Hi everyone,
As always, every time I look at the AWS Glacier egress fee calculator I get fairly irked at how much they charge. Was wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives for cold storage in the cloud without such egregious charges. I will likely not access it ever because I have another offset backup, but just in case I do, I wouldn’t want to fork over thousands, really.
I don’t know how reliable Scaleway’s service is, and Cloudflare’s R2 doesn’t have a Archive offering. I would be interested in the Azure if anyone can convince me that I won’t go bankrupt trying to retrieve my data from them. I don’t want to go with Google with the recent stuff they have been doing with data on their servers.
Thanks!
I went with iDrive e2 https://www.idrive.com/s3-storage-e2/ 5 TB is 150$/year (50% off first year) for S3-compatible storage. My favorite part is that there are no per-request, ingress or egress costs. That cost is all there is.
5 TB for $150 seems awfully high (didn’t click the link). I’m on my first year (and did it before they doubled their first year prices) and I got 50 TB for $500.
1 TB is $15 for the first year.
