> They aren't doing 20x replication. They do 20+20? erasure coding, so the overhead is 2x or less.

With "sending that backup to 10 machines" I meant "egress 10x of 250GB" = 2500GB. With a pricing of $0.01 per GB after egress tops 100% of stored data, or 250GB, that's 0.01 * 2250 = $22.5. I'm not talking about replication overhead on their side.
