Note that AWS offers archival storage for $1/TB-month and Google has promised $1.23/TB-month later this year. These prices are competitive with raw storage, so the alternative is to go without backup.

Do you have a link for the AWS 1/TB-month and Google? I'm interested.
"S3 Glacier Deep Archive This new storage class for Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is designed for long-term data archival and is the lowest cost storage from any cloud provider. Priced from just $0.00099/GB-mo (less than one-tenth of one cent, or $1.01 per TB-mo), the cost is comparable to tape archival services. Data can be retrieved in 12 hours or less, and there will also be a bulk retrieval option that will allow you to inexpensively retrieve even petabytes of data within 48 hours." https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/03/S3-glacie...
