s3 may be cheaper than you think.

If you're willing to tolerate hr+ delays in accessing your data aws glacier deep archive is 70cents per terabyte month.

that's pretty awesome in my book.

If you need to access the data in under an hr it comes out around $2 per TB/mo

I am not sure if you are calculating this correctly but for me, 70 cent/TB/mo is not a realistic number. Cheapest glacier storage for me, is, $0.004 per gb per mo, which makes a terabyte storage for $4/TB per mo.For me, this number is at Ohio or Oregon data centers. And their retrieval rates are super expensive, as in, $0.03 per gb. Glacier might be cheap but it definitely is not the cheapest.

no cheapest deep archive is 0.0007 per gb month, or 70 cents per tb/mo

note they've recently reduced their pricing so you might be looking at old marketing. But my latest bill charged me 0.0007

you're right of course that retrieval in an out is much more expensive and so prob not a great fit for your usecase

Glacier Deep Archive is $1/TB-month. Glacier is $4/TB-month, and both neither is cost effective for immediate or recurrent retrieval.

Whoa! That's nothing!

Is there an easy way for a consumer to use this for backup?
